The region covers some 20% of the Southern Hemisphere, of which 5.5% (14 million km2) is the surface area of the continent itself.
Approximately 14,000,000 sq km
i think it is a bout 4,400 km
Antarctica and Brazil are both big places. Here are a few possible itineraries:-- Rio Grande to the north end of the Antarctic Peninsula: 3,491 km-- Brasilia to the South Pole: 7,942 km-- Macapá to the Antarctic coast at 130° east longitude, near the South Magnetic Pole: 12,648 km
roughly 15,900 km (9,910 miles)
Largest to smallest ( sq. km.).Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern ( Antarctic ), Arctic
The Southern Ocean freezes over around the Antarctic continent, essentially doubling the size of the Antarctic continent. Mathmatically, then, you could say that the size of the continent -- 5.405 million sq miles (14 million km²) -- is doubled.
Every point on the Trpic of Capricorn OR the Tropic of Cancer is about 2,608 km from the equator. Every point on the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle is about 2,608 km from the north or south pole respectivly.
Your query is based on confusion of nomenclature. Antarctica is the name of the continent. The Antarctic is the name of the region. The Antarctic region contains the continent of Antarctica.
The Taylor, Beardmore, and Amundsen Glaciers are three of the many glaciers in the Antarctic.
The question doesn't specify from which starting point. The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are roughly 23.5 degrees from the north and south poles respectively, which is roughly 1,620 miles (2,608 km).
Squids and the antarctic toothfish live in the waters of the antarctic penguins, seals, elephant seals, and many other.
there are 17 types of species of penguins but 11 live in the Antarctic
