Nope...lots of land, even unfrozen lakes, under the ice. Basically, Antarctica is a small continent (say the size of Australia) covered by a sheet of ice...and now it's shrinking. no, underneath the ice is rocky land Edited by Danielle Robertson 5/3/2009 :P

Sub-Antarctica islands are well defined and named. However, within the boundaries of the continent, there may be islands, but because the ice sheet covers 98% of the continent, and the ice sheet is so heavy, it pushes the land below sea level, identifying all the potential 'islands' that exist there is not possible.
Is there regular flights to Antarctica?

What kind of houses are there in antarctica?
You may be referring to the joke than only houses with northern exposures can exist in Antarctica. Indeed, there are no houses on the continent. If you are really wondering than the answer is that there are no houses in Antarctica because there are no permanent residents. Between 1000 and 5000 people occupy research stations on Antarctica, and living exists with a combination of dormitories, cafeterias and work locations.
