Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet -- 98% of the continent. The maps of Antarctica are satellite photos taken from space and are made freely available to all countries that signed the Antarctic treaty.
There is more than one map of Antarctica.
The word Antarctica means "opposite of the Arctic."
Because it is the highest mountain of Antarctica
Antarctica is the continent farthest south on a map. It is located at the South Pole and is mostly covered in ice.

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.
Colours on maps generally indicate political status. Since Antarctica has no comparable political status -- it is governed by the Antarctic Treaty -- and since 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet, generally, Antarctica is coloured white.
