Map of Antarctica: areas and entries in Antarctica

Antarctica is the southernmost continent and differs clearly from the other continent hubs in that the area does not consist of ordinary nation states with permanent populations in the same way as Africa, Europe or Asia. Instead Antarctica is dominated by ice, extreme climate conditions, research stations and international agreements governing activity on the continent.

On the map Antarctica appears as a large land mass around the South Pole, surrounded by the Southern Ocean. Many searches about Antarctica concern either geography and climate or which islands and areas are typically associated with the region in map databases. This page therefore gathers both a large map image and the entries that in the site's database fall under the continent code for Antarctica.

The page is designed as a clear overview for those who want to understand Antarctica in a geographic context. You can quickly see which entries are in the database, read frequently asked questions about the continent and click through when you want to go deeper into a specific area or territory.
