Nice idea

We probably do have the technology but Antartica isn't settled for the same reason we don't have colonies on the moon.

To the best of our knowledge there is nothing there. You need resources to have a thriving society. At best Antartica would just be a social and environmental experiment.

If they find some good stuff on the moon or Mars we will be there before Antartica.
