The first dinosaur whose fossils were found in Antarctica was Antarctopelta in 1986. It wasn't named until 2006, long after a second dinosaur, Cryolophosaurus, was found and named in 1991 and 1994, respectively.

Why were so few dinosaurs found in Antarctica?
The reason that so few dinosaurs have been found in Antarctica is because it is almost impossible to dig for fossils on most of Antarctica. First, most if it is underneath a mile of ice. Secondly, because Antarctica is so harsh, few paleontologists go to dig even in the areas of rock that are exposed. To me, for those reasons, it's surprising that any dinosaurs have been found in Antarctica.
