The area now covered by the Territory includes three regions which, before 1962, were administered by the British as separate dependencies of the Falkland Islands: Graham Land, the South Orkney Islands, and the South Shetland Islands. == Bases == There are a number of current and former bases in the territory: * Halley * Rothera *Signy was operated from 1947 until 1996 and now is only staffed in the summer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Signy Research Station )〕 *Two summer-only forward operating stations, at Fossil Bluff and Sky Blu. *Faraday was maintained until 1996, when it was sold to Ukraine and renamed Akademik Vernadsky Station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Faraday Station - History )〕 *Port Lockroy on Goudier Island is a tourist centre operated by the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust. Mail is found from all of these bases, although most of it is philatelic in nature.
