Why isn’t Antarctica a more explored place? I know it is verrry cold but there are areas on earth populated with people living there that are insanely cold and people manage. Resources and whatnot are a challenge and I can see why it would be difficult to get people to sign on to explore the Antarctic but this continent is barely explored like at all! If I ask people usually respond with “there isn’t anything out there,” but I keep seeing amazing discoveries of ancient ruins and whatnot all over the world but nothing is ever found in Antarctica because I feel like no one bothers to look. If there isn’t anything out there why don’t we do any testing out there for the big weapons since it’s safer? I could just be ignorant but am I missing something?
