Antarctica is a continent of approximately 14,000,000 sq km. The Transantarctic Mountains divide Antarctica into east and west. East Antarctica constitutes the bulk of the land mass and is the oldest part of the continent. West Antarctica is the newer and smaller area which includes the Antarctic Peninsula and consists of four land areas separated by deep water.
Think of Antarctica as an elephant's head.......East Antarctica would be the ear, West Antarctica would be the face, and the Antarctic Peninsula would then be the trunk. Two thick sheets of ice cover Antarctica. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet is the biggest. The smaller ice sheet covers West Antarctica. These two ice sheets behave very differently, as you will find in the section all about ice sheets. Tips of the Transantarctic Mountains make up much of the continent peeking through the thick ice sheet.
