* Antarctica is not a country, but a continent with claimed territories or dependencies; New Zealand is a country made up of a collection of islands. * Antarctica has a very harsh, cold and dry climate, therefore has only two native plants that are found only on the northernmost part of the peninsula,and animal life there is dependent on the sea or on flight to areas with other food sources; New Zealand has a varied but temperate climate with many complex plant and animal ecosystems that vary throughout its climatic and geological regions, and has much productive farmland and forests. * Antarctica is at or relatively close to the South Pole; New Zealand is at or relatively close to the parallel of latitude 45 south, halfway between the equator and the South Pole. * Antarctica has no permanent population or residents, and the number of people in residence varies from about 1,000 in winter to 5,000 in summer; New Zealand has a permanent population of about 4,200,00. * Antarctica has a land area of more than 14 000 000km²; New Zealand has a land area of about 270 000km².
