The summer size of the Antarctic continent is 5.405 million sq miles (14 million km²)

The size of the continent does not change seasonally. However, the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent does connect with the Southern Ocean sea ice that freezes around the continent, which just about doubles the continent's size in winter.
