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.
The Australian plate took a very long time to separate from the Antarctic plate. In fact they were the last of the major Gondwanan continental plates to split, only 45 million years ago. As a result, Tasmania has many geological similarities with Antarctica.he Earth's major plates (Image courtesy of US Geological Survey). When viewed from the perspective of geological time, the Earth is a very dynamic place. Over the course of millions of years, the face of the Earth has changed as continents move and mountain ranges are formed and eroded.
