Why has nobody claimed it? It's free resource.
>>524536449several have, but nobody seriously enforces it due to a combo of international prescedent and the fact its a frozen hellhole where any possible resources you could get would not be worth the cost of extracting them since again its a frozen hellhole
it's ripe for more exploratory kino
>>524536449I like the idea of one piece of this earth being left to nature. I hope Antarctica stays forever wild
>>524536450>prescedentPrecedent you autocorrect addicted monkey
Who should it go to?
>>524536449Google earth displays several anomalies in Antarctica that the conspiracy minded could liken to hidden bases, possibly for world governments who want to extract resources or experiment and amass weapons/ tech down there without it getting out into the public.https://www.weirdgoogleearth.com/2013/08/19/ufo-base-entrance/
>>524536454UNITED STATESChina and Russia are already there doing whatever the fuck they want. No country just means it goes to the most based and ruthless one who ignores the rules. USA projects power across the globe and maintains the rules-based order. Who else is going to keep the chicoms and russians from mining the whole place and setting up military bases? It's either us or them.
Okay bro, just head on down there and try to set up a mining operation. Be sure to film the whole thing so we can have a good laugh at your expense.

>>524536611>siri, zoom in on that crawler thing
>>524536449>Admiral Byrd came back from Antarctica with 1000s of troops>says he saw all kinds of weird shit including new lands>2 years later he's dead>1 year after that 90 countries sign the Antarctica treaty so no one can explore
>>524536611>>524536636its a fucking rock
>>524536449Antarctica is claimed, it's divided between 7 countries but the continent is governed by a treaty to foster scientific research (ie no one gives a shit if you wander onto the Australian or Chilean bit accidentally)So no interest in mineral extraction.
What board did this come from
>>524536449Its fucked beyond belief, the blizzards are insane, look them up on youtube. There is a reason only penguins with 90% fat can survive there. You need well maintained engineering marvels to even be able to have buildings there, you need hospitals and schools for anyone to want to live there and you can barely build small research stations.
>>524536449I could claim this and extract it.
>>524538733This all changes the moment I show up. All countries around the world notice it. They all immediately start their dumb chatter.
>>524539390That's why you go under the ice
>>524536721I don't believe in any of this shit because if there was "new land" and "new this and that planet" then there wouldn't be a huge focus on establishing a greater israel.
It's already a shitty place but how shitty must the lower left segment be for no one to want to claim it?
>>524539661We tried that with Greenland and discovered that ice tunnels aren't very stable.
Needs a McDonalds
They want to prevent you from entering Agartha
>>524539714Likely doesn't have a solid base around it. Or approach from ocean is shit.
How is it that Ukraine can afford to have its own research base (pic related) in Antarctica?
>>524539714What's even worse is htf Norway can claim so damn much of it.
>>524536450Countries are jockeying for position for oil/mineral extraction. All the "scientific ice cores" are just a cover for resource exploration.
>>524540689Do you can't hide a mineral extraction base. No matter how hard you try.
>>524536449https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Byrd_Land
>>524539714Gimme a break! UK, France and Norway don't belong there. They can't exclude anyone else because they at some point claimed a tiny rock in the sea 20,000km away from their homeland.The only fair solution would be to treat Antarctica like the Moon or Mars. For the benefit of all of humanity.
>>524539714Okay, I hereby claim it for "Palestine".Now we finally know where to deport the Gaza niggers.PROBLEM: SOLVED!
>>524540140murica gifted it
>>524536449Because it's not free. The climate there is so unforgiving to (human) life that it costs money just to keep people there. Colonies are maintained for two reasons, economic or strategic. There's no money to be made in Antarctica, and there's little strategic value to a base on the ass crack of the world, far away from everyone else. Because of this, there's no reason to claim it.
>>524536451Based and Shackleton-pilled
>>524536449there are like 2 km of ice sheit on top of those resources, that sheit is constantly moving.the seas around are extremely violent because without landmass blocking it theres a constant sea current thanks to earth rotation. its the most inhospitable place on surface earth
