I thought I’d just post two sweet and similar polar flags and be done with it, but the history of Antarctic flags is very complicated, because it was subject to so many territorial claims before the international treaty that guarantees it remains a peaceful non-state, and the difference between the previous proposals and the True South flag proposal [top] is that it’s angling to be the flag of the people who live in Antarctica now. The flag of Greenland, meanwhile [above], is the flag of indigenous people trying to assert their distinct identity from the country that colonized them.
