Antarctica continent covers over 14 million sq km making it 1.5 times the size of the USA. Antartica occupies approximately 9% of the world's land surface.
In comparison, Australia's area is 7617930 km2, it comprises just five percent of the world's land area (149,450,000 km2), yet it is the planet's sixth largest country after Russia, Canada, China, USA, and Brazil.
Hence, Australia is smaller than Antartica

Antarctica is about twice the size of Australia in the summer, and even bigger in the winter.
