Antarctica
Antarctica
Antarctica, fifth largest of the earth's seven continents, surrounds the South Pole. It is mostly circular and its total area is about 5.5-million sq. mi. in summer. During the winter Antarctica doubles in size because of the large amount of sea ice that forms at its periphery. The true boundary of Antarctica is not the coastline of the continent itself but the Antarctic Convergence.
