Best Answer

You need a map that centers on the South Pole, with Antarctica at its center.

Depending on what you want to explore, you can find an atlas -- flat map, or a globe that shows the curvature of the planet, or you may be able to find sonar or other types of sub-ice maps that may reveal what you want.

I think a Gnomonic Projection would best show Antarctica since the projection focuses on the poles.

You can see Antarctica on a map that centers on the South Pole. Otherwise map distortions fail to show the continent in her full glory.
