A first approach to Bioclimatology and Biogeography of the Antartic is carried out establishing the diagnostic parameters and indices of thermotypes, chionotypes (ombrotypes) and continentality existing in the study area following the Rivas-Martínez et al. (2011) proposal. It is also defined a new bioclimatic variant called Semipolar antarctic bioclimatic variant (sepoa). It has the optimal in the euhyperoceanic humid-ultrahyperhumid isles and archipielagoes of the subantarctic isles territories (Circumantarctic Subkingdom, Subantarctic Insular Region), located no far from the influence of the Antarctic Convergence, also afected by the West Wind Drift and the Circumpolar Cold Current, within 46º and 56º South latitude. To belong to the semipolar antarctic bioclimatic variant, every coastal island locality (
