Why does Antarctica double in size each winter?

The continent itself is land, and land does not generally change in size -- except for volcanic lands. The sea ice that freezes around the continent freezes with and connects to the ice sheet that covers 98% of Antarctica during winter, and effectively the size of this ice mass, then, doubles the size of the ice sheet that covers the continent.

Which map shows the most accurate relative Size of Antarctica the white region on each map why?

The map that shows the most accurate relative size of Antarctica is the Peters Projection map. This map emphasizes area, making regions near the poles, like Antarctica, appear larger relative to their actual size on a traditional Mercator map, which distorts land masses near the poles. The white region on each map indicates the icy expanse of Antarctica, and the Peters Projection provides a more truthful representation of its true scale compared to other projections.
