It doesn't matter!We are not allowed to mine any of the resources under Antarctica. However if we were, we would find around 450 million barrels of oil just to start. There would also be some gold, silver, titanium..

What is the rock formation underneath antarctica?
Underneath Antarctica is a varied rock formation that includes ancient Precambrian shields, sedimentary basins, and tectonic boundaries between different tectonic plates. The East Antarctic Craton is a prominent feature, comprising some of the oldest rocks on Earth. The geology of Antarctica is still being studied due to the continent's remote and harsh environment.
Why do the ice shelves melt in summer in Antarctica?
Melting of Antarctica's ice shelves occurs underwater, based on warming ocean water. which melts the shelves from underneath. This phenomenon occurs all year and is not limited to summer.
Is there a nuclear submarine under Antarctica?
I can assure you that there isn't any nuclear submarine under Antarctica. The continent of Antarctica is solid land with a very thick glacier on top of it, and even if someone wanted to put a submarine underneath it, there is no way of doing that. You can put submarines in the north pole, but not the south.
Will Antarctica be a country after global warming?

How are the greenhouse gases affecting Antarctica's ice?
Apparently, the oceans are warming around the Antarctic continent, thus melting the ice shelves from underneath.
What makes Antarctica a desert?
Antarctica is the coldest continent on earth, and 98% of its surface is covered by an ice sheet. There is relatively no or little humidity on the continent -- less than five percent. These combine to make Antarctica an ice desert.

Is the ice on Antarctica salt water?
Nope...lots of land, even unfrozen lakes, under the ice. Basically, Antarctica is a small continent (say the size of Australia) covered by a sheet of ice...and now it's shrinking. no, underneath the ice is rocky land Edited by Danielle Robertson 5/3/2009 :P
How many continents lie partially or completely south of equator?
