Due to the Antarctic Treaty, mining is prohibited. Iron ore, chromium, copper, gold, nickel, platinum and other minerals, and coal and hydrocarbons have been found in small, uncommercial quantities.
Iron ore, chromium, copper, gold, nickel, platinum and other minerals, coal and hydrocarbons have all been found in Antarctica.
Tourmaline is commonly found in association with minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. It can also be found in combination with minerals like lepidolite, apatite, and garnet. The specific minerals present alongside tourmaline can vary depending on the geological environment in which it formed.
Gold is typically found in minerals such as pyrite, chalcopyrite, and quartz. These minerals are often found in hydrothermal veins or in association with volcanic activity. Gold can also be found in placer deposits where it has been eroded from its original source and concentrated in a sedimentary environment.
While there may be some 'educated guesses' and some 'good ideas' about what minerals might be found south of 60 degrees S, commercial exploration for them is prohibited by the Antarctic Treaty. This means that there are no 'official' lists of minerals available to answer your question. Whatever lists could be provided would be subject to scientific confirmation.
Common minerals that are found in Antarctica are antimony, chromium, copper, gold, lead, molybdenum, tin, uranium and zinc. There are also large deposits of coal and sedimentary iron found in some Antarctic areas.
Sulfur can be naturally found in the environment in volcanic areas, hot springs, and in minerals like pyrite and gypsum. It is also present in the atmosphere as sulfur dioxide gas.
Important minerals of beryllium: beryl, chrisoberyl, phenakite, bertrandite.
The only danger in Antarctica is freezing to death. It is the most extreme cold environment on earth, and is too cold to support life.
Antarctic pearlwort, a small flowering plant found in the Antarctic region, is primarily consumed by herbivorous animals such as the Antarctic krill and various grazing birds, notably the snow petrel and the Antarctic petrel. These animals rely on the limited vegetation available in the harsh environment, making Antarctic pearlwort an important food source for them. Additionally, some insects may also feed on this plant in its native habitat.
The penguin is the best known bird species found in the Antarctic.
