The Territory comprises the Antarctic Peninsula with all adjacent islands, the South Orkney and South Shetland Islands and the Weddell Sea, as well as the landmass extending to the South Pole.After the discovery of the South Shetland Islands in 1819 by Captain W. Smith, Antarctic explorers followed in quick succession with Edward Bransfield discovering the Antarctic Peninsula in 1820 and Captain G. Powell taking possession of the South Orkney Islands in 1821. It was not until 1908 however that Britain registered its first claim to the Antarctic Territory by Letters Patent – a legal document granted by the Monarch declaring sovereignty over the Territory that is today the British Antarctic Territory. The Territory was governed as three separate dependencies; Graham Land, the South Orkneys and the South Shetlands – administered from Stanley by the Governor of the Falkland Islands.
