Well, not exactly. Technically, all meridians of longitude run between the north and

south poles, so their ends are at the poles, and they don't pass through. But you're

correct in your description that if you follow any line of longitude south, eventually

you wind up at the south pole, because they all meet there.

-- Every meridian of longitude crosses the equator, and every other parallel of latitude. -- Every meridian of longitude has one end at the north pole. -- Every meridian of longitude has the other end at the south pole.

What the latitude and longitude of Antarctica?

The latitude of Antarctica is approximately 66 to 90 degrees South. All lines of longitude converge at the South Pole, so all lines of longitude pass through Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent covering 10% of the earth's surface -- about as large as USA and Mexico combined. Latitude and longitude imply specific locations, not general geographies.
