Besides frozen Antarctica that will raise once the ice melts, it's the southernmost continent. So it begs the question: will it rise again? I'm only half joki

Besides frozen Antarctica that will raise once the ice melts, it's the southernmost continent. So it begs the question: will it rise again? I'm only half joking here. The marmalade of continental crust has been spread so thin on the ocean floor that it seems done for: > Continental crust is usually around 40km deep – significantly thicker than oceanic crust, which tends to be around 10km. As it was strained, Zealandia ended up being stretched so much that its crust now only extends 20km (12.4 miles) down. Eventually, the wafter-thin continent sank – though not quite to the level of normal oceanic crust – and disappeared under the sea. In school I was taught continents "floated". I wasn't aware they could die.
