What is the southernmost continent?

The southernmost of all six continents is Antarctica. South of this continent, there can be no places on our planet, since the southernmost point of the planet, the South Geographic Pole, is located on the territory of Antarctica. Despite this, Australia for several hundred years, before the discovery of Antarctica, was considered the southernmost of the continents, as evidenced by the name of this continent, since the word Australia in Latin means “southern land”. Although it was later determined that this was a mistake, the name of the continent was not changed.
