It's really not that different from the rest of the world, since it still has an entire atmosphere of air weighing down on it which is what air pressure is. If Antarctica were at sea level it would tend to be slightly higher due to high pressure prevailing (climatologically at the poles). But since much of Antarctica is up pretty high in elevation (several thousand meters) just due to there being so much ice on top of the land, the actual air pressure is pretty low - on par with that of a location in the mountains.

What uses air pressure to work?
air
What is air moves from a point at which air pressure?
high pressure to low pressure
How does altitude affect density and air pressure?
Altitude has a large affect on the air pressure and air density. Air density reduces with altitude and air pressure reduces with altitude as well.
Air pressure is caused by?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above pushing down on the air below. As altitude increases, there is less air above, resulting in lower air pressure. Temperature and humidity can also affect air pressure.
What can effect air pressure and why?
Several factors can affect air pressure, including altitude, temperature, and humidity. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases due to the thinner air at higher altitudes. Temperature can also affect air pressure, with warm air typically having lower pressure than cold air. Humidity can impact air pressure by altering the density of the air.
