The Transantarctic Mountains separate this vast, ice-covered land into East Antarctica, a landmass about the size of Australia, and West Antarctica, a collection of islands.

East Antarctica, which contains the South Pole, is covered by a huge ice dome rising from coastal plains to a high plateau. West Antarctica is mountainous and contains several active volcanoes.
