Which continents are located completely in the Southern Hemisphere?

Australia and Antarctica are the only continents that are entirely situated within the Southern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere is defined as the half of the Earth that is south of the equator.

Australia is a large landmass that is entirely below the equator, making it fully part of the Southern Hemisphere. Similarly, Antarctica is the cold, desolate continent that sits around the South Pole, completely within the Southern Hemisphere as well.

In contrast, the other continents listed either lie partially in the Northern Hemisphere or have significant portions above the equator. For example, Africa, while it does extend into the Southern Hemisphere, includes a large portion that is situated in the Northern Hemisphere. South America also overlaps the equator, including areas in both hemispheres. Asia and Europe predominantly lie in the Northern Hemisphere, further emphasizing why they do not belong solely to the Southern Hemisphere.
