Antarctica Map Maker — Color the Regions of Antarctica
Create a custom colored map of Antarctica online. Click any of its 2 states, provinces and regions to color it, group them by color, label each group in the legend, and download the finished Antarctica map as a high-resolution PNG or scalable SVG — free and without an account.
How to make a custom map of Antarctica
- Pick a color from the palette on the left (or use the custom color picker).
- Click regions on the map to fill them with the selected color.
- Add a label for each color in the legend editor, and give the map a title.
- Optionally import name–value data to build a choropleth automatically.
- Click Download to export a high-resolution PNG or a scalable SVG.
About this map of Antarctica
Antarctica is drawn here as 2 individually colorable regions. By mapped area the largest is Antarctica (about 12.2 million km², 100% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Antarctica at about 12.2 million km². The mapped outline reaches from 90°S to 61°S and spans roughly 360° of longitude. The 2 regions are made up of 124 separate landmass outlines, so much of the detail only appears once you zoom in. Antarctica straddles the 180th meridian, which splits it in half on a standard world map; this page centres it instead.

Tips for coloring the Antarctica map
- At 2 regions there is no need for a gradient — 2 strongly contrasting solid colors will separate them at a glance, even in greyscale print.
- Antarctica alone covers about 100% of the mapped area, so a shaded choropleth will always be dominated by it. If you are mapping a quantity, import your numbers and switch to the bubble view, which sizes circles by value instead of by land area.
- The shape is much wider than it is tall, which leaves room above or below the map: a corner legend and a title fit without covering any region.
- Switch on a satellite or terrain base layer to see the islands in context — your colored outlines are drawn over the imagery, not replaced by it.
