Terra nullius

How many wars have been fought for terratorial gains and protection of terratories , From the begining of the human history men are fighting and killing each other for a piece of land , for a house , for lakes etc. But what if i told you that there are 3 pieces of land that no one wants to have in his territorry? That this time arguing and fighting each other not to have that territory under their control?

Those lands are called Terra nullius that in Latin means nobodies land.
Marie Byrd Land
While several countries have made claims to parts of Antarctica in the first half of the 20th century, the remainder, including most of Marie Byrd Land has not been claimed by any sovereign state. Signatories to the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 agreed not to make such claims, except the Soviet Union and the United States, who reserved the right to make a claim.

Bir Tawil

Bir Tawil is an example of a territory often claimed to be terra nullius. Between Egypt and Sudan is the 2,060 km2 (800 sq mi) landlocked territory of Bir Tawil, which was created by a discrepancy between borders drawn in 1899 and 1902. One border placed Bir Tawil under Sudan's control and the Halaib Triangle under Egypt's; the other border did the reverse. Each country asserts the border that would give it the much larger Halaib Triangle, to the east, which is adjacent to the Red Sea, with the side effect that Bir Tawil is unclaimed by either country (each claims the other owns it). Bir Tawil has no settled population, but the land is used by Bedouins who roam the area.

Gornja Siga and other pockets
Croatia and Serbia dispute several small areas on the east bank of the Danube. However, four pockets on the west bank, of which Gornja Siga is the largest, are not claimed by either country. Serbia makes no claims on the land while Croatia states that the land belongs to Serbia.Croatia states that the disputed area is not terra nullius and they are negotiating with Serbia to settle the border.

For me the most impressive think is that these pieces of land are between countries that have enemies for years and years.
