It’s also the only continent without a southern coast.
Long Earth theory.
Wait what? Did we just find Hitler’s secret Antarctica base?
That’s the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station.
Nonsense! Did you see how big that thing is? Definitely Hitler!
Big if true
Can we talk about how big that structure is?
No bears, tho.
Ok, but that’s unironically a great map for a TTRPG campaign.
I’m thinking Lovecraft. Plateau of Leng and all that. There’s just this huge, impassable land that goes south for what seems like forever. And…things…occasionally wander out of it.
And getting smaller everyday
It’s just the ice wall on the edge of the flat earth. Checkmate, globe-lovers!

Serious Q: isn’t there actually a lot resources in Antarctica? Or is it just too difficult to set up shop there?
There certainly are, but…

This treaty means the entire continent is for science only.
When you say resources what resources are you referring to specifically?
Not sure but mineables? Im probably oversimplifying because all my knowledge of getting stuff out of the ground comes from games but stuff like metals.
You mean like ores like copper, iron, rare earths that kinda thing. There are seems of minerals that are actually meteorites that have collected in certain spots on a glacier. Haven’t heard anything about other large deposits but usually you would need to do all kinds of geological surveys to find that stuff and since most places are covered in 1mile+ of ice it’s near impossible.
