Proposed flag of Antarctica Whitney Smith - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The "Proposed flag of Antarctica Whitney Smith" is a design suggested by American vexillologist (flag expert) Whitney M. Smith II for a potential national flag of the continent of Antarctica, should it ever become a sovereign entity. The proposed design features three horizontal stripes representing the three continents that border Antarctica – Africa, Australia, and South America – along with a small circle in the center symbolizing the South Pole. The colors used are white for snow, red for blood shed by explorers, and light blue for the ocean surrounding Antarctica. It's important to note that Antarctica is not a sovereign nation, but this design serves as one possible representation of a hypothetical national identity.
