Antarctica is a continent covering 10% of the earth's surface, which is governed by The Antarctic Treaty. There are no countries on the Antarctic continent.
The Antarctic continent covers 10% of the earth's surface. Ninety-eight percent of the continent is covered with fresh-water ice, about 70% of the earth's store.
Spiders are found everywhere except for on the Antarctic mainland. Surprisingly, spiders the size of dinner plates have been found on the seabed far below the surface of Antarctic waters.
You can locate the Antarctic continent under the ice sheet that covers 98% of its surface.
The area contained by the Antarctic Circle.The Antarctic is the polar region that surrounds the Earth's South Pole. The continent of Antarctica is actually only a small fraction of the Antarctic, the majority being made up of ice shelves, the Southern Ocean, and island territories.
The Antarctic ice sheet contains about 70% of the earth's store of fresh water and about 90% of the earth's store of ice.
Antarctica is a continent with no countries. It covers 10% of the earth's surface, and is governed by the Antarctic Treaty (1961).

The Antarctic is the opposite to the Arctic. The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun does not appear above the horizon at the southern Winter Solstice. It also marks the northernmost point of the Antarctic Frigid Zone. The Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes N latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun does not appear above the horizon at the northern Winter Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Arctic Frigid Zone.antarctic circleThe opposite to the artic circle is the antarctic circlethe Antarctic (Antarctica) - south pole
Technically, both polar regions -- above the Arctic Circle and below the Antarctic Circle -- are equal. However, Antarctica occupies the larger landmass, of the two, covering about 10% of the earth's surface.
You may be thinking of the Dry Valleys, an area on the Antarctic continent said to resemble the surface of planet Mars.
