Aside from the fact that this article is as yet unsourced (aside from a nondescript tourist link), I am unsure if a distinct article about the region is warranted; arguably, it's a POV fork, and the content can be dealt with, if not already, in the parent article. I mean: is there a referenced definition for the region? (Compare with Antarctic ecozone)? Europe and Asia can also be construed as regions, as can any geographical entity, but should we create region articles for them too?
As well, I wonder if this article is titled correctly: since the northern polar region is referred to as the Arctic, would it not make sense to name this article Antarctic or similar? The New Oxford Dictionary of English, after all, does define Antarctic (noun; 3rd sense, with 'the') as the south polar region. (Which somewhat flies in the face of my comments above!)

An IP has posted feedback requesting this article in Hindi. I don't know enough about Hindi to even recognise if it is one of the languages for which we have an interlanguage links (or even if there is a Hindi Wikipedai). Is there a Hindi reading/writing person who can resolve this issue? Mitch Ames ( talk) 12:59, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
The phonetic spelling of "Antarctic" in UK English has an "r" before a consonant. Actually, in most UK dialects, the "r" is dropped before a consonant. It is retained in the South West and Scotland, and then, different "r"'s are used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.147.175.160 ( talk) 15:41, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
Where are the seasonal temperature numbers like in the Arctic article? Do you not know or are you unwilling to admit that Antarctic never gets above freezing, because it hurts tje AGW cause? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.147.135.123 ( talk) 20:37, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

The statement "The region covers some 20% of the Southern Hemisphere, of which 5.5% (14 million km2) is the surface area of the Antarctic continent itself" is ambiguous. does it mean the area of the Antarctic continent is 5.5% of the Southern hemisphere or that it is 5.5% of the 20%? This needs clarification. 212.159.59.5 ( talk) 10:53, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
