Antarctic
Antarctica: Earth's southernmost, coldest, driest, and windiest continent, 13,661,000 km², ice sheet holding ~90% of Earth's fresh water, governed by the 1959 Antarctic Treaty, with record sea-ice lows and accelerating ice loss since 2015.
Antarctic and subantarctic gastropod fauna
The Antarctic and subantarctic gastropod fauna comprises several hundred shelled marine snails on the Antarctic shelf and 51 non-marine species on subantarctic islands, with about 75% endemism.
Antarctic Bottom Water
Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is the coldest, densest water mass in the ocean, forming around Antarctica's margins and spreading north to fill much of the deep ocean.
Antarctic Circle
The Antarctic Circle is the parallel at about 66°34′S (66.5637°S), where the sun does not set at the summer solstice; first crossed by James Cook in 1773, distinct from the 60°S Antarctic Treaty boundary.
Antarctic circles of latitude
The Antarctic Circle, at about 66°33′48.8″ south, marks where the Sun stays above or below the horizon for a full day, first crossed by James Cook in 1773.
Antarctic Circumpolar Current
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, also known as the West Wind Drift, is the world's largest ocean current, flowing eastward around Antarctica and connecting the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
Antarctic Circumpolar Wave
The Antarctic Circumpolar Wave (ACW) is a proposed pattern of coupled sea surface temperature, pressure, and sea-ice anomalies propagating eastward around the Southern Ocean, identified in 1996.
Antarctic continental shelf
The Antarctic continental shelf is the deep (average 450 m, over 1,000 m in places), wide (~125 km) seabed around Antarctica, shaped by glacial overdeepening, source of Antarctic Bottom Water, and conduit for warm Circumpolar Deep Water toward ice shelves.
Antarctic fur seal
The Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) is an eared seal that breeds on sub-Antarctic islands and feeds on Antarctic krill; hunted near extinction, it was listed as Endangered in 2026.

Antarctic Intermediate Water
Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) is a cold, low-salinity water mass of the Southern Ocean, marked by a salinity minimum at 700–1000 m that spreads northward into all three ocean basins.
Antarctic krill
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a swarming Southern Ocean crustacean, the largest biomass of any multicellular wild animal species at 300–500 million tonnes, keystone prey for whales, penguins and seals, and target of the CCAMLR-managed krill fishery.
Antarctic land bridge
The Antarctic land bridge, formalized as the Weddellian Isthmus, was a land connection between southern South America and the Antarctic Peninsula until roughly 55 million years ago.
Antarctic Peninsula
The Antarctic Peninsula is Antarctica's northernmost arm and mildest, most accessible region, warming rapidly with glacier retreat, ice shelf collapse, record 2025 melt, heavy tourism, and major sea-level sensitivity.
Antarctic Plate
The Antarctic Plate is a major tectonic plate comprising Antarctica and the surrounding ocean floor, bounded almost entirely by mid-ocean spreading ridges. East and West Antarctica moved separately until about 11 million years ago.
Antarctic Plateau
The Antarctic Plateau, also called the Polar Plateau or East Antarctic Plateau, is the vast, elevated interior ice surface of East Antarctica, among the coldest places on Earth.
