Flag of the British Antarctic Territory

Government ensign of the British Antarctic Territory

Flag of the Commissioner of the British Antarctic Territory
The 'Flag of the British Antarctic Territory' was granted in 1963, when the
British Antarctic Territory was created. Previously the Territory was a part of the
Falkland Islands Dependency and used the same
flag.
The flag is a
white ensign with the
Union Flag in the canton, defaced with the
Coat of Arms of the British Antarctic Territory. The flag flies over the British research stations in the Territory, and also at the headquarters and offices of the
British Antarctic Survey. Vessels of the British Antarctic Survey use a
blue ensign defaced with the shield from the coat of arms. A flag is available for the
Commissioner of the British Antarctic Territory, a Union Flag defaced with the coat of arms.
