Antarctica would remain as it is, because drilling for oil violates the Antarctic Treaty, and drilling is prohibited and illegal.
As well, drilling north of 60 degrees S, which is legal, would mean that the 'people' would lose vast amounts of money given the depth of the oceans and the proof of failure recently experienced by Shell Oil in Arctic polar waters..
Based on the Antarctic Treaty, there will be no nuclear activity there, nor will there be any colonization.
world would be better place. U.S has started to drill more oil
You would be in the Arctic Region. Antarctic is the south polar region.
antonym of drill would be "fill". Another would be "relax".
That would happen around the dates of the equinoxes ... roughly March 21 and September 21.
people would not survive
there would just be white people!
In wood work, a twist drill would be used for making small holes where an ordinary wood drill (auger) would probably split the wood.
The Argentines believed that the islands had belonged to the Spanish empire and therefore belong to them. It is also theorized that there is a "tap into" the antarctic oil reserve ( which nobody can drill for because of the antarctic treaty) near or on the islands, bypassing the antarctic treaty meaning the islands are a bit more important than believed. This theory may be another motive for invasion and also would be a good reason why Britain defended it besides national pride.
You would have to drill about 5,100 kilometers below the surface.
Well if something is facing down you would need to drill down.
This is not a likely scenario, since there is nothing on the Antarctic continent to offer 'settlers' any resources in terms of food, shelter and economy.
