There is no development of Antarctica.
The continent is covered -- 98% of it -- with an ice sheet. All land and ice south of 60 degrees S is protected by the Antarctic Treaty, which dedicates that area to the scientific study of the health of planet earth -- and forbids development or commerce of any kind.
