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..

Why did Argentina invade Falkland?

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.
