The coal deposits in Antarctica are explained by Pangaea where Antarctica was located next to South America, Africa, Australia, and India.
When Antarctica was still a part of the super continent Gondwana, it was covered in forests and had warm coastal currents on its shores. As Antarctica separated from Gondwana and moved south, the waters cooled, the temperatures dropped, the forests disppeared, the land was covered in snow which was compacted into ice over time, all combining to create coal deposits.
Answer: Antarctica was in a warmer place before it drifted over the South Pole.

Continental Drift. The land mass wasn't always at the poles so could support forests that then got covered to become coal. Climate Change's another. Earth maybe WAS warm enough at the pole but the climate as a whole warm enough to support foorests there.

It could technically be either. The majority of coal deposits appear to be biotic, though there are some geochemists who believe that abiotic coal deposits might exist deep in the crust.
Antarctica is the largest desert on earth and is thought to have huge deposits of petroleum, gas, coal and other mineral resources.
