Generally, maps of the Antarctic are true as to the coastline. However, much of the continent remains a mystery because 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet.
The maps of Antarctica are incomplete in that sense.

Antarctica is shown on maps in the colour white, because the continent is covered by ice -- 98% of it.

Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet -- 98% of the continent. The maps of Antarctica are satellite photos taken from space and are made freely available to all countries that signed the Antarctic treaty.
In 1915, there weren't necessarily good maps of Antarctica, and none of them showed climate, only landmass.

If you could fly in a straight line, like a bird, according to Google Maps, you'd fly 7,879.796 miles from Connecticut to Palmer Station, Antarctica.
Colours on maps generally indicate political status. Since Antarctica has no comparable political status -- it is governed by the Antarctic Treaty -- and since 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet, generally, Antarctica is coloured white.
