Right ! Antarctica may be the right place for that point, but things aren't always
what they should be. The point is presently located between 1st St. and 2nd St.
in Orange Beach, Alabama, next to two boats on trailers in the yard of a large
home there.
67 degrees South, 142 degrees East
Antarctica is located 0 degrees north and 40 degrees east.
The Tasman Sea.
The latitude of Antarctica is approximately 66 to 90 degrees South. All lines of longitude converge at the South Pole, so all lines of longitude pass through Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent covering 10% of the earth's surface -- about as large as USA and Mexico combined. Latitude and longitude imply specific locations, not general geographies.
Longitude and latitude are measured in terms of degrees, minutes and seconds. Longitude has 360 degrees, while latitude 180 degrees of latitude.
Antarctica is located closest to 80 south longitude. It is the southernmost continent and surrounds the South Pole.

Including its coastal islands, Antarctica occupies a range of more than 50° degrees of latitude, and all 360° of longitude.

There is no country at the coordinates 80 degrees south latitude and 140 degrees west longitude. It is a point on the continent of Antarctica.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude. Most of the land mass of Antarctica is within the Antarctic Circle.
Every line of longitude crosses the continent of Antarctica.
