.aq Information
.aq is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Antarctica. It is reserved for organizations that conduct work in Antarctica or promote the Antarctic and Southern Ocean regions. It is administered by Peter Mott of Mott and Associates of Auckland, New Zealand.
Conventional internet connection can only be accomplished through the use of a satellite connection system or satellite based devices.
Oddly, the Australian government's official website for Heard Island conservation efforts is "heardisland.aq", notwithstanding that Heard Island and McDonald Islands have their own ccTLD '.hm'.
