This list includes flags that either have been in use or are currently used in Antarctica.
An orange field bearing an emblem consisting of a pair of hands holding a segment of a disk representing Earth with the letter "A" representing Antarctica.
1995
Joanne Cooper and Stefan Tucker’s proposal.
An orange field bearing an outline of Antarctica, a compass pointing south at the bottom left, and the outline of a penguin to the right.
1996
Graham Bartram's proposal.
A white outline of Antarctica on a UN-blue background.
pre-2000
Dave Hamilton's proposal.
The pale blue strip represents pack ice, the dark blue stripe represents the night sky and the yellow stripe is a representation of the aurora australis. The famous stellar constellation the Southern Cross is shown in the dark blue stripe at the right.
2007/2008
Oliver Leroi's proposal.
The flag is vertically divided in four stripes - black, whitish, orange, gray -, reproducing the proportions of the colors on the "livery" (feathers) of an emperor penguin, selected as Antarctica's emblematic animal.
2018
True South's proposal.
Horizontal stripes of navy and white represent the long days and nights at Antarctica's extreme latitude. In the center, a lone white peak depicting the bergs, mountains, and pressure ridges that define the Antarctic horizon. The long shadow it casts forms the unmistakable shape of a compass arrow pointed south. Together, the two center shapes create a diamond, symbolizing the hope that Antarctica will continue to be a center of peace, discovery, and cooperation for generations to come.
The blue symbolizes the sky and sea surrounding the province, while the Southern Cross reflects the night sky and the albatross itself is a local bird that represents freedom through flight.
Chilean Antarctic Territory, in Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Region.
The blue color represents the night sky, while the golden peaks symbolize the steppe region, white indicates the snow that often falls in winter, and the Southern Cross symbolizes the position of the area.
Since 2007
Adélie Land, in French Southern and Antarctic Territories.
The flag consists of a blue field with the Franch flag on the canton. The charge consists of 5 stars (for the five regions of the French Southern and Antarctic Territories) and the letters "TAAF" forming a monogram (from the French name of the territory, Terres australes et antarctiques françaises).
The New Zealand flag is the basis for his design, though with an 'Ice Blue' background representing the Ross Sea, and the white horizontal bar at the bottom of the flag representing the Ross Ice Shelf.
50th Anniversary Comemorative Flag of Byrd's historic flag over the South Pole.
Since 2004
Antarctic Vexillological Association
Blue represents the 24 hour day of the summer season, black represents the 24 hour night of the winter season, and white represents the ice and snow of the Antarctic continent. The Diamond in the middle if divided across the equator represents the "A" of Antarctica and "V" of Vexillology. The Diamond also represents the 4 compass points representing the compass points leading away from the geographic South Pole
