The total surface area of Argentina (not including the Antarctic claim), is as follows:

Total: 2,766,890 km²
Land: 2,736,691 km²
Water: 30,200 km²
Argentina is nearly 3,700 km long from north to south, and 1,400 km from east to west (maximum values). It can roughly be divided into four parts: the fertile plains of the Pampas in the center of the country, the source of Argentina's agricultural wealth; the flat to rolling, oil-rich plateau of Patagonia in the southern half down to Tierra del Fuego; the subtropical flats of the Gran Chaco in the north, and the rugged Andes mountain range along the western border with Chile.

The highest point above sea level in Argentina is located in Mendoza. Cerro Aconcagua, at 6,962 meters (22,834 feet), is the highest mountain in the Americas, the Southern,[6] and Western Hemisphere.[7] The lowest point is Laguna del Carbón in Santa Cruz, −105 meters (−344 feet) below sea level.[8] This is also the lowest point on the South American continent. Due to the higher gravity force in Laguna del Carbón, a pendulum clock, if not corrected, will advance 24 seconds a day[17]. The geographic center of the country is located in south-central La Pampa province.

The country has a territorial claim over a portion of Antarctica (unrecognized by any other country), where, from 1904, it has maintained a constant presence.

It is under the earth like Australia and everything there is upside down, and the people have to tie their selves to the bed at night so they won't fall away off.
