Antarctica is not a sovereign nation, nor is there any vertiginous population, no commerce and too little knowledge about this grand continent that occupies 10% of the earth's surface.

You can find both polar regions in map books, however, sequestered together usually. And you can find Antarctica on a world globe.

Why does Antarctica appear long and thin on some maps and on a globe?

the Earth is round so Antartica, being located on the southern pole, is more noticeably curbed than the other continents, but a map is flat so, to show all of Antarctica, they stretch it out and flatten it.


Is Antarctica small or big?

Your answer depends on your definition of size. Antarctica is about as big as USA and Mexico combined, which for some people means that Antarctica is big. Antarctica is not as large as Africa, which for some people means that it is small.


Will this product work in very remote regions, such as around the North Pole?

It would appear that this product will work in some remote areas, but only in certain ones. The only maps that appear to be available are city maps (worldwide) and water/trail maps for the US, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain.


Why does Antarctica appear long and thin on some maps and round on a globe?

Flat maps, unless they focus on polar regions, do not adequately depict the Antarctic continent (or the Arctic).Because a flat map usually shows latitudes as lines parallel to the floor, and because there is no commerce or commercial value in Antarctica, the continent is depicted as a series of white, glacial continent edges at the bottom of the map. (This is especially true in northern-hemisphere-centric maps.)Actually, Antarctica is a more-or-less circular continent, with a long arm (peninsula) that points to South America. It is about the same size as US and Mexico combined and occupies 10% of the earth's surface.Here is a map:http://www.gdargaud.net/Antarctica/InfoAntarctica.html
