Why is Antarctica not an island, when it is not connected to any above-sea landmass and Australia is considered to be an island (continent)? Thank you

Because no one has actually answered the question…
Antarctica is not an island because it consists mostly of an archipelago, that is, a chain or group of islands. The reason it doesn’t look like that is because they lie under several miles of ice in some places. Most of the landmass of Antarctica sits well below sea level.
