Which continent does not have glaciers?

  • (A) Europe
  • (B) Asia
  • (C) Australia
  • (D) Africa
Australia is the only continent where there are no glaciers. While there is snowfall during winter time, there are no glaciers as one would expect on other continents. If you stick with the familiar seven-continent model, where Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia are continents, then Australia is the only continent that lacks glaciers. Africa possesses a few glaciers, but only on its mountain tops, such as Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Mount Kenya, and Rwenzori mountains. A few sources refer to it as a region of "Oceania, a group consisting of Australia and islands nearby. In this view, Oceania is home to glaciers because of New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, evoking the false idea that Africa doesn't have any. So, in standard geography, the straightforward answer is: Australia represents the continent without glaciers.
