Antarctica, like the North Pole, doesn’t show up well on a map. Maps generally try to show in 2 dimensions what really exists on the surface of a sphere. Not a good way to represent it. Norway, for example, looks like a teaspoon when in reality it’s more like a long ice-tea spoon… OK…. not the best example. Anyways, here is Antarctica with a great big country pasted on top of it for comparison.

Size comparison.
