Antarctica is the Earth's southernmost continent. It is on the South Pole. It is almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle. Around Antarctica is the Southern Ocean. At 14.0 million km2 (5.4 million sq mi), it is the fifth-largest continent in area after Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice.
No country or nation is a recognized âownerâ of Antarctica but several nations do claim pie-shaped slices of the continent. Thanks to an international treaty signed in 1959, only one thing rules Antarctica â science.he continent that surrounds the south pole comprises nearly 10% of the earthâs landmass. Itâs also extremely cold. The annual average temperature is -50Â°C and 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages a mile thick.
