There is no native or permanent population on the Antarctic continent.
People who live and work there temporarily may count into the 4-8,000 person range. In 2013, the population of planet earth was projected to be about 7.125 billion. Can you do the math?

2.8%
Antarctica accounts for 10% of the land of the continents and 0% of the population.
Antarctica is a continent made up of the same materials that make up all continents. Ninety-eight percent of the continent, however, is covered with an ice sheet.

Approximately 0.32% of Antarctica is not covered in ice, primarily made up of rock outcrops, mountain peaks, and small patches of bare ground. The vast majority of Antarctica is covered by ice, with some areas exceeding 2 miles thick.
Asia is the largest continent, covering about 30% of the world's land area. Africa is the second largest, occupying around 20% of the world's land area. North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia/Oceania each take up less than 20% of the world's land area.
Antarctica has not broken up.
Some scientists say Antarctica is drier, others say the Atacama Desert is the driest. It's a toss up. Take your choice.
