All Of Antarctica

Most maps show Antarctica as this long-snaking continent that lives at the bottom of the world. Unless you are looking at a globe, it is hard to conceptualize that Antarctica is actually a rounder continent instead of one that is long and skinny.

Antarctica does not have a permanent population the way the other continents do, as it is made up of scientists, researchers, and support staff who work on a rotational basis. To understand just how big Antarctica is, you need to compare it to all of North America. It might not be as big, but if it was a country, Canada would be 40 percent smaller than it.
