Our current warming trend has been happening for 6000 years. Antarctica has suffered the least from these affects. The area is one of the few areas still growing ice (offsetting arctic loss).
The past few years have seen cooling. The warmest year appears to agree with the rest of the planet at 1999 in all recorded history (150 years). Second warmest was 1938. Let[s hope for continued cooling.
Because there were plants eaters on Antarctica many years ago and it is cold there know so if you put that to a conclusion it must have been further North. The first fossil found on Antarctica.
Antarctica was unknown 2000 years ago.
Currently there are no trees growing in antarctica, it is just too cold. However millions of years ago antarctica was a vast, lush forest.
Thousands of year ago Antarctica was much like it is now: very cold and covered in ice. You would have to go back 160 million years to find it was warm.
No humans have lived in Antarctica that are native to the continent. It's too cold there to support life.

The Cold War ended many years ago, in 1991
Ice cores are useful for scientists who want to learn about the climate in Antarctica thousands of years ago.
Antarctica came into being in the early stages of the Earth's history, many hundreds millions of years ago. Nobody specifically 'made' it.
I think it was made 170 million years ago
why as it so cold in the UK 200000 years ago
Going far enough back Antarctica was tropical.
