What ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ถ means

A flag for Antarctica, the frozen continent at the South Pole. Antarctica has no official flag and no country owns it, so the emoji usually shows a white outline of the continent on blue.

Scientists, expedition cruisers and penguin fans post ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ถ with ๐Ÿง and ๐ŸงŠ. It also works as a joke for brutal cold: "my office is basically ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ถ".

Several countries claim parts of Antarctica, but a treaty sets the continent aside for peaceful research, which is why there is no national flag here.
