Antarctica

/ˌæn.tɑːrkˈtɪk.ə/

nounan · tar · c · ti · ca

Remember the hidden word: **ANT + ARCTIC + A** → ANTARCTICA (it’s like “Arctic,” but with **ant-** in front and an **-a** at the end).

Yes, it's Antarctica. Don’t drop the second **a**: it’s **Ant-arct-ica**, and the tricky middle is **-arct-** (with **ct** together).
