This part of Antarctica also forms part of the British Antarctic Territory which is a British Overseas Territory . Prior to 1 January 1983, any person born in a British colony acquired ''Citizenship of the United Kingdom and Colonies'' (CUKC) unless the parents were diplomats or ''enemy aliens'' (see History Of British Nationality Law ). On 1 January 1983, further to the British Nationality Act 1981 a CUKC connected to the British Antarctic Territory became a British Overseas Territories Citizen . This status can pass down to the first generation born outside Britain's territories, although it does not grant a right of abode in the British Antarctic Territory (see Belonger Status ).

Furthermore, on 21 May 2002, any person holding BOTC by connection with the British Antarctic Territory ''automatically'' became a British Citizen by virtue of the British Overseas Territories Act 2002 .

Hence Emilio Marcos Palma is the only known person to hold British nationality by virtue of a connection with the British Antarctic Territory. The same would apply to any of his children.
