AI overview

Antarctica is Earth's southernmost and least-populated continent, located almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle and containing the geographic South Pole. It is the fifth-largest continent, roughly 40% larger than Europe, and is mostly covered by a massive ice sheet with an average thickness of about 1.9 kilometers, making it a crucial region for understanding global climate and sea levels.
