Eh. Asia is only 3.1 times larger than Antarctica, both Europe and Oceania/Australia are even smaller and South America isn't that much larger. It's a different matter if we compare it to Eurasia and America (north+south), though.
This is a useful reference https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:World_map_true_proportioned_continents_approximation_with_comparison.jpg
https://thetruesize.com/ is also fun.
Just use the search to add Antarctica and another region (like say Australia, or North America), then drag them to the equator to compare their sizes.
To round out the list: Africa is about 2.1 times as big. Oh, and glorious Afro-Eurasia is 6 times as big, get fucked Antarctica
