IP addresses in Antarctica
What an IP address located in Antarctica carries: the registries that allocated its space and how much, the privacy regime, sanctions programmes and FATF list a lookup answers for it, the clock it keeps, and how well free geolocation places a city here. Read from the registries’ statistics and the curated facts files, never from a person.
What the registries record for Antarctica
The five regional Internet registries publish daily statistics of every block they have allocated or assigned, each with the country they recorded for it. These are the rows that name Antarctica. A registry country is what the registrant declared, and it can differ from where an address is used.

| ipv4 addresses | 1,024 in 3 blocks |
| ipv6 ranges | 1 |
| autonomous systems | 1 |
| allocated between | 2017 and 2025 |
| continent | AN |
| is_eu / is_eea | false / false |

What a lookup answers for an address here
Every IP lookup that places an address in Antarctica carries the same country facts beside the network: is_eu false, is_eea false, currency null and calling_code null. The three below are facts about the place from curated files that name their sources and dates; none of them is advice and none carries a risk weight.
- Privacy law. No comprehensive privacy law is known for Antarctica in the curated map, so a lookup answers privacy_regime: null — which means not known, never that there is none.
- Sanctions. No country-related US (OFAC) sanctions programme names Antarctica; a lookup answers sanctions: [].
- FATF. Antarctica is on neither FATF list; a lookup answers fatf_list: null.
- Clock. Several zones. Antarctica keeps more than one clock, so the zone is settled per address: by the region where the curated map knows it lies in one zone, else by the nearest listed place inside the country, never by a national guess.
Run the lookup
The same fields, with the network, the operator and every flag beside them, for any address:
curl https://spaw.co/api/v1/ip \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"ip": "203.0.113.9"}'Or try one without a key on the free IP lookup, and read every field in the IP intelligence guide.
