Antarctica, English: Antarctica; ; French: Antarctique, known as the seventh continent, is the last one to be discovered and the only one where no one has settled.

The Antarctic continent has a total area of 6,543.8+0.39 million square kilometers, equivalent to the total area of China and India-Pakistan subcontinent, ranking fifth among all continents in the world. The entire Antarctic continent is covered by a huge ice sheet, with an average elevation of 2350 meters, making it the highest continent in the world. There are more than 220 minerals in Antarctica.

Antarctic continent refers to the land except the surrounding islands in Antarctica, and it is the latest continent discovered in the world. It is lonely at the southernmost tip of the earth. More than 95% of the Antarctic continent is covered with extremely thick ice and snow, which is called "white continent". Among the six continents in the world, Antarctica is bigger than Australia, ranking fifth. Antarctica and Australia are the only two continents in the world surrounded by oceans, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, forming a huge hydrosphere around the earth, which is completely closed (see Antarctic Ocean). They are continents far away from other continents and completely isolated from the civilized world. So far, there are still no permanent residents, and only a few researchers take turns to live and work temporarily in a few research stations.

The Antarctic continent is the most difficult continent to reach. The nearest continent to the Antarctic continent is South America, with a 970-kilometer-wide Drake Strait between them. The Antarctic continent is not only far away from other continents, but also surrounded by ice shelves and floating ice for several kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers. The area of ice floes in winter can reach190,000 square kilometers. Even in the Antarctic summer, its area is 2.6 million square kilometers; There are tens of thousands of huge icebergs floating in the waters around the Antarctic continent, which has caused great difficulties and dangers for maritime navigation. Antarctic Circle: The latitude of 66 degrees 34 minutes south latitude is the Antarctic Circle. There will be extreme days and nights in the polar circle. The south of the Antarctic circle is the south cold area, and the north is the south temperate zone.
