Why doesn't Antarctica have a Continental Divide?
A continental divide separates the sources of water that flow into different oceans from the same continent. Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet: there is no water flowing from its mountain peaks. Plus, the single ocean that surrounds Antarctica is the Southern Ocean. Seen another way, Antarctica's ice sheet is made up of moving glaciers that all flow downhill into the southern Ocean, regardless of which side of the Trans-Antarctic mountains the glacier flows from. So, it may be academic that Antarctica does or does not have a continental divide: semantics may win this argument.
