Panama connects South America to Central America by a border. From the south, the Antarctic Peninsula points toward South America -- and the distance across the Drake Passage that separates them is about 800 Km.
The continent of South America extends southward towards the continent of Antarctica. The South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica.
You may be thinking of the Antarctic Peninsula.
In beetween south America and north America there is a tiny piece of land that connects them.
A narrow piece of land that connects two larger bodies of land is called an isthmus. The Isthmus of Panama essentially connects the continents of North America and South America.
That is a peninsula.
The Americas extend from the north to the south 14,000km. I hope this helps :)
It might be North America and South America. (I'm 13 years old) source (knowledge)
A piece of land that extends a long way into a body of water is called a 'penninsula'. If it extends only a short way it is called a 'headland' or 'promontory' or 'foreland' The tip of a continent is called a 'cape'.
