'''East Antarctica''', also called '''Greater Antarctica''', constitutes the majority (two-thirds) of the [[Antarctic]] continent, lying on the Indian Ocean side of the continent, separated from [[West Antarctica]] by the [[Transantarctic Mountains]]. It lies almost entirely within the Eastern Hemisphere and its name has been accepted for more than a century. It is generally higher than West Antarctica and includes the [[Gamburtsev Mountain Range]] in the centre. | '''East Antarctica''', also called '''Greater Antarctica''', constitutes the majority (two-thirds) of the [[Antarctic]] continent, lying on the Indian Ocean side of the continent, separated from [[West Antarctica]] by the [[Transantarctic Mountains]].
