OpenStreetMap
Found this oddity through Chetan, that I never recalled seeing before.
At first thought someone squared a border, but this was created 4 years ago and is a disputed border area between Chile and Argentina.
Not been able to find many maps that show the border like this, but here is some interesting reading:
- Border Disputes - A Global Encyclopedia: Southern Patagonia Ice Fields
- Southern Patagonian Ice Field - Wikipedia
The Southern Patagonia Ice Fields from ISS. Source

Most “international boundaries” discussions take place over at http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=53173 - a trawl through the history there might find some prior discussion.
Currently in OSM it’s not a “country”, though it has been recently:

As ever with discussing actual changes, comments on the discussion on changesets that changed the state are the best way to try and understand what’s happening, such as happened with osm.org/changeset/37389042 .

Thanks SomeoneElse for the backstory. Always fascinating to read a disputed border story :)

Interestingly the Siachen Glacier In the Himalayas has a similar history of lying in an undemarcated zone that is claimed by India and Pakistan. The situation changed in 1998 after a war broke out between the two and the Indian army finally took control of the highest battlefield on earth.
