The Ross Dependency is a New Zealand dependency located on the Antarctician Continent. It is the only settlement on the Antartica that is claimed by a sovereign nation. New Zealand still owns claim even after the Antarctic Treaty that was signed in 1959 by 11 other nations.
English: unexplained; apparently from a place-name deriving from Old Scandinavian fitjum ‘at the riverside meadows’ (compare Feetham in NR Yorks) + -bý ‘farm, village’, though no such place has been identified.
