How large would Antarctica be in land mass if there were no ice to displace the ocean?
The rocky continent of Antarctica has an area of 14,000,000 (fourteen million) square kilometres (5.5 million square miles). In winter the frozen sea ice means that it nearly doubles in size.
If there was no ice there, the continent would rise out of the ocean (the weight of the ice is pushing the land down) and have a larger area than at present.
What else can I help you with?
What land mass would you encounter traveling south of Antarctica?
Antarctica is the southern-most land mass on planet earth.
What continets does the pacific ocean not pass through?
I don't think the Pacific Ocean passes through any continents, so the answer would be "All of them".
Where would the epicenter be of an earthquake that causes a tsunami?
The epicenter of an earthquake that causes a tsunami would likely be beneath the ocean floor, where the earthquake originated. Tsunamis are often triggered by undersea earthquakes that displace a large volume of water, creating the giant waves that can lead to a tsunami event.
Would you expect iodine to displace bromine form a solution of potassium bromide?
No. However, bromine would displace iodine in potassium iodide.
How do you say the sky is blue in antarctica?
You would say "El cielo es azul" in Antarctica, as you would in any Spanish-speaking region.

What continents and oceans would you have to cross to go from Antarctica to Europe?
well if you only crossed the Atlantic ocean then it would be one ocean
The Indian ocean touches which 4 continents?
Africa, Australia, Antarctica and Asia touch the Indian ocean. As of the year 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization decided that the waters surrounding Antarctica would be known officially as the Southern Ocean.
What is the Antarctic Sea Called?
As of the year 2000, the International Hydrographic Organisation decided that the waters surrounding Antarctica would be known officially as the Southern Ocean. The Southern Ocean extends from the coast of Antarctica to the 60 degree South line of Latitude. What is now the Southern Ocean was previously the southern most portions of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. The Southern Ocean incorporates the Amundsen Sea, Bellingshausen Sea, part of the Drake Passage, Ross Sea, a small part of the Scotia Sea, Weddell Sea, and other tributary water bodies.
What seas are around Antarctica?

Your answer depends on where you begin your journey. Your greatest challenge will be crossing the Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica -- on foot.
Where is Antarctica on the map?

What continents do you travel across from Africa to Antarctica?
None. You would travel across the Southern Ocean to get from Africa to Antarctica.
How can a freon leak cause death?
If the leak was large enough to displace all of the oxygen, you would die of suffocation.
Would you want to swim in the ocean near Antarctica?
Probably not, if you mean within at least fifty miles of Antarctica. Relatively speaking, it is very cold down there, especially in the ocean. Unless, of course, there is the chance that a warm ocean current flows nearby. I'm no expert, but I would doubt that, seeing as Antarctica shows no signs of that, as far as I know. If that were to be, then the nearest land to it, if it were in that vicinity, would have a much more mild and temperate climate.
What land mass would you encounter traveling south of Antarctica?
