First (in the world)
– The world's first international treaty establishing the continent as a zone of peace and science (Antarctic Treaty, 1959)
– The world's first continent without a permanent population
– The first continent in the world where military activity and mining are prohibited
– The world's first international project for joint management of a territory without national sovereignty
– The first continent in the world where a network of international scientific stations from different countries was created
Records (the "most" in the world)
– The coldest continent (record – −89,2 °C at Vostok station)
– The driest continent (the interior regions are polar deserts)
– The highest middle continent by sea level (about 2,300 m)
– The largest reserve of fresh water (about 70% of the world's reserves are in glaciers)
– The strongest wind speed on the continent (katabatic winds up to 320 km/h)
Records (one of the most) in the world
– One of the most inaccessible regions of the planet
– One of the cleanest regions in terms of air pollution
- One of the most important centers for climate research
– One of the largest natural reserves on Earth
– One of the most unique ecosystem regions (penguins, seals, krill)
– One of the most active objects of international scientific cooperation
Anti-records (the "most" in the world)
– The lowest temperature recorded on Earth
– Lowest population density (0 permanent residents)
– The lowest biological productivity on land
– The highest degree of isolation from the rest of the world
Anti-records ("one of the most" in the world)
– One of the most vulnerable regions to global warming (melting glaciers)
- One of the most unsuitable regions for agriculture
– One of the most difficult regions for transport logistics
– One of the most dangerous regions for navigation (icebergs, storms)
– One of the lowest levels of sunlight in winter
