Antarctica's Circular Shape
■■■■■
Many people remember Antarctica as being a more perfectly circular or uniformly shaped continent on world maps, rather than its actual irregular and indented coastline.
●
What People Remember
People recall Antarctica as a nearly perfect circle or a very symmetrical landmass at the bottom of the world.
◉
What's Actually True
Antarctica has a complex and irregular coastline, featuring deep embayments, peninsulas (like the Antarctic Peninsula), and large ice shelves, making it far from a perfect circle.
