Antarctica is the only continent completely in the southern hemisphere that doesn't touch the Tropic of Capricorn. Oceania is also completely in the southern hemisphere, but it does reach the Tropic of Capricorn, although parts of it are just in the southern hemisphere. Antarctica is the only continent that reaches the Antarctic Circle, and the South Pole is part of Antarctica, but yet Antarctica is so big that it even goes out of the Antarctic Circle which means Northern Sweden is closer to the North Pole than Northern Antarctica is the South Pole.
1st answer: No, South America covers 17,819,000 Sq. Km while Antarctica is only 13,209,000 Sq. Km wide. 2nd answer: Well, Antarctica is composed of ice. During their summer (our winter) Antarctica gets extremely smaller than in their winter. Yet, the height of their ice is as big as America, so no, it isn't as big as SA.
Antarctica is almost twice the size of Australia.
No. Open up a map and look at the big continent that's the furthest down. Antarctica is the Earth's southernmost continent, encapsulating the South Pole. It is situated in the Antarctic region of the southern hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
Many will, the Mercator projection is probably the best known.

South America is 6.888 million sq miles (17.84 million km²)
Because its the biggest country - its almost as big as all the other south American countries put together.
