Visually, how big is Antartica?

The view of the globe is always side on. It spreads from Alaska down to the tip of South America. Across from Alaska to the Pasific coast of Russia, and down again to New Zealand. If Antartica was superimposed on this view, what area would it cover? Is it bigger than we visually imagine?

Its surface area would take up the U.S. and half of Canada.
