Antarctica
💡 Explanation:
Antarctica is known as the White Continent due to its vast ice sheets covering approximately 98% of the continent, giving it a predominantly white appearance. Australia is known as the Island Continent, North America and Asia are not specifically referred to as the White Continent. Antarctica's ice cover is the thickest on Earth, contributing to this designation.
