If you follow the 20 degree line of longitude down from Cape Town to the Antarctic coast, you come to a point between the "Princess Astrid Coast" and the "Princess Ragnhild Coast".
The tip of South Africa is the closest to Antarctica. Capetown is in the Southeastern part of South Africa and is roughly 3,900 miles from Antarctica. The two continents aren't all that far apart.
You can find Antarctica -- the Antarctic Peninsula -- about 750 miles south of the southern tip of the Argentine. Otherwise, it is also south of South America, and also south of India, south of Australia.
The southern most tip of South America is the nearest major land mass to Antarctica.
The Republic of South Africa is located on the southern tip of the African continentAt the way bottom tip.
The three continents closest to Antarctica are South America, Australia, and Africa. South America is the closest, with the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula being only about 1,000 kilometers away from the southernmost point of South America. Australia is next, with the closest point being around 2,200 kilometers away from Antarctica. Africa is the third closest continent to Antarctica, with the closest point being approximately 4,000 kilometers away.
South America and Africa are mostly in the southern hemisphere, while Australia and Antarctica are entirely in the southern hemisphere. Also, a very small part of Asia, the tip of the Malay Peninsula, lies south of the Equator.
Geographically? Antarctica, New Zealand, the southern part of Australia, the southern tip of Africa, and the southern quarter of South America. Also, LOTS of ocean.
The distance from the tip of the peninsula off Antarctica, closest to Africa (-60.48W, -64.66S) to Rio de Janiero, Brazil, is 4811.61669 km.
The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica. The Atlantic Ocean surrounds the southern tip of South Africa. There is little agreement regarding where the border lies between these two oceans.
Asia, Africa, than South America. Largest to smallest. The equator passes through northern tip of South America as well as the norther tip of Africa as well as the lower part of Asia. Europe and North America are above the equator, Antarctica is above.
Nope. It is a country at the southen tip of Africa.South Africa is one of the countries of Africa. it is in the southern tip of Africa.
The northernmost tip of Antarctica is located at 63°12′48″S 57°18′08″W. The equator is located at zero degrees. The distance between degrees of latitude is 69 miles (111 kilometers). Rounding up, the means that the Equator and the northern-most tip of Antarctica is separated by 4,416 miles or 7,104 Km.
