Antarctica is a continent, you can't send a sub underneath it. Ran discovered previously unseen structures beneath the Dotson Ice Shelf in West Antarctica.

The Arctic is covered in floating ice, you can send subs under it. Well, it's covered at the moment, climate change is working on changing all that.

And why would you define a continent to only include rock?

I mean, the definition of a continent is a landmass. We don't count the ice shelves in Canada or Greenland either.

Sure we do. Do you not consider Glacier National Park a part of North America?

They are not part of the continental land mass, even though they are geographically located on the continent called North America. But the Arctic is not a continent because there is no land mass.

Your mom's not a continent

That sounded a lot better in my head
