Around 14,000,000 sq km actual landmass. Twice the size of Australia!. It can double in the area of the earths surface it covers in winter due to sea ice forming around the landmass and ice shelves. Antarctica directly linked to weather systems all round the world. I read it can actually cover as much as 1/10 th of the earths surface when winter ice is taken as a whole. Probably the most important continent in regards to future of the planet.

it is 'bigger' in summer. although the arc remains roughly the same, you are just seeing the tip of the arc in winter, and more of the same arc in summer. in very northern or southern places, winter can mean not seeing any arc of the sun whatsoever (totally dark for days or months) or seeing part of the arc constantly (meaning the sun is always up in summer or always down in winter, such as antarctica and parts of far north Canada and Greenland)
