Antarctica was the last continent to be explored because to travel there is hard
Human exploration is always limited by transportation. When people began exploring the earth's waters in ships, it was clear that polar waters were ultimately not navigable, given that errant icebergs could destroy a ship. This was too high a price to pay.
Until ships' hulls were reinforced to withstand a collision with an iceberg, nothing was known about the area of the Southern Ocean. Since this is the location of Antarctica, it was the last continent to be discovered.
Antarctica is polar and between about February and November, the continent is inaccessible due to the frozen sea ice of the Southern Ocean that surrounds it.
Ancient Greeks theorized that there was a continent in the south. Until the late 1500s, there were no sailors who documented their adventures that far south.
Today, access to the continent is perilous without reinforced hull-type vessels.
Direct answer: It's far away from most civilization, mostly inaccessible and extremely cold and dangerous for sailing ships.
Antarctica is nicknamed the Last Continent because it was the last to be colonized.

By all accounts, this is probably true. However, there are probably pockets of unexplored territory on every continent.
