Antarctica covers about 95% of the area, however, there are also a few more islands and territories to be found here.
Diving in the Antarctic region is special in every way.
It comprises the continent of Antarctica, the Kerguelen Plateau, and four other island territories.
The Southern Ocean covers more than 50% of its total surface area, in addition to the Weddel Sea, the Amundsen Sea, the Bellinghausen Sea, and the Ross Sea.
