If the large ice sheet covering Antarctica were to melt completely what type of landscape would you expect Antarctica to have?
Antarctica is the southern most continent in the world. It is the fifth largest continent after Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. 98% of the surface of Antarctica is covered by ice, with an average of 1.5 km (1.0 mi.) thick. On average, Antarctica is the coldiest, driest, and windiest continent and has the highest average elevation of all the continents.
In response to the question, if the large ice sheet covering Antarctica were to melt completely, then almost all of the world's fresh water supply would vanish into the salt water. A lot of places would flood, seeing that it's a lot of ice that is going into the ocean.
Places like Florida and small islands at sea level would disappear under the rising ocean level. A lot of people would die.
But meanwhile, back in Antarctica, Antarctica would left nothing but as a bare grey landscape. Most of the surface under the ice is rocks and stone, and gravel.
Let's hope that something like this would never happen - if it did, then half of the world's land mass would disappear under the rapidly-rising sea level.

No, Antarctica is not a country itself, but some territory is claimed by countries such as Australia, Britain, Argentina, Chile, etc. Some claims overlap each other. No existing claim is valid nor are new claims allowed per the Antarctic Treaty, signed in the 1960s. So you could not be a citizen of Antarctica.
