hey mate here is your
It contains the geographic South Pole and is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14,000,000 square kilometres (5,400,000 square miles), it is the fifth-largest continent.

Antarktikos – Antarctica – is thus the opposite of “the land of the bear” and is situated on the other side of the planet. The Antarctic continent was discovered early in the 19th Century.

Antarctica is situated in South pole
it is named so because Antarctic actually comes from “anti-Arctic”? The name Arctic comes from the Greek word Arktos, which means bear. ... Antarktikos – Antarctica – is thus the opposite of “the land of the bear” and is situated on the other side of the planet.
