The land area of the United Kingdom, which includes Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and a number of smaller islands, is 242,495 square kilometers, or 93,628 square miles. The land area of Antarctica is 14,000,000 square kilometers, or 5,400,000 square miles. Thus, 14,000,000 divided by 242,495 equals 57.73, meaning that Antarctica is over 57 times larger in terms of land area than the UK.
