Which of the following statements regarding continent of Antarctica is/are correct? 1. It has the highest average elevation as compared to all other continents. 2. Mount Vinson is the highest peak of this continent.

Antarctica has the highest average elevation of all continents — approximately 2,500 metres above sea level — due to its thick ice sheet. Mount Vinson (Vinson Massif), located in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, is indeed the highest peak in Antarctica at about 4,892 metres. Both statements 1 and 2 are therefore correct.
