The highest point is Vinson Massif, which measures 4,892 metres above sea level.
Since not all of the continent under the ice sheet has been measured, the lowest point found to date is the Bentley sub-glacial trench, at 2,555 metres below sea level.

∙ 8y agoThe highest point on the Antarctic continent is Vinson Massif at 16,050', or 4,897 meters.
Because not all of Antarctica has been mapped to identify its absolute lowest elevation, what we do know is that the Bentley Subglacial Trench reaches 2,555 metres below sea level.
