The ground underneath the ice:
The continent you are seeing here includes the continental shelf; that’s the white part of the ocean in a typical atlas that would be above sea level during an ice age.
It’s very likely that if Antarctica were uncovered that all the blue areas would be under water, and with the green areas as the shoreline.
Of course, if that were the case, there’d be glacial rebound that would eventually join many of those islands together.
