ANTARCTICA

These two maps of Antarctica offer an interesting contrast.  The map on the left is what we normally think of as Antarctica.  However, the map on the right is the actual land under the ice cap.
This is the map of Antarctica that we are accustomed to seeing.
This map shows the most common perception of Antarctica. But since the continent is covered by ice, we don't see the actual land of Antarctica.
Antarctica map for world geography lessons
This map shows what Antarctica looks like under the ice. Much of the continental "land" area is actually held below sea level because the ice covering Antarctica is so heavy.

Classroom Antarctica has some great lesson plans and materials for teaching about the international cooperation issues in Antarctica.  They Also have general materials for that continent.
