Yes, during the Mesozoic era (the time of the dinosaurs), the climate was milder. The current ice caps did not exist. Also due to Antarctica being further north then its current location, no ice could accumulate there, over the summer. Preventing it from freezing, even at colder periods. At the of the cretaceous period Antarctica moved south causing, a drop in temperature. But the temperature remained habitable for a vast array of life. During the cretaceous period the earth was still warmer then today, and the climate in antarctica was not too harsh, but still relatively cold. Dinosaurs being endothermic creatures, and having extensive fur or feather covering were able to survive the arctic winter, which dropped to negative temperatures but not to the extreme.
