2030 anyone?

Remember captains, when crossing the Drake passage, keep your families away

Fun fact: Antarctica is the world's largest desert. The small amounts of rainfall there fall within the classification of a desert.

The fact that Antarctica was part of Australia means i dont want to discover whatever is living down there

Antarctica is no joke. My father has been to Antarctica twice for meteorite-hunting expeditions, and he had to perform emergency snowmobile repairs, and emergency dental surgery on a colleague by punching out a tooth with an iceblade. Hardcore place.

Dear RealLifeLore, you forgot about one of the most important factor called 'isostatic rebounding'. After the ice melts, the continent will rise around a few hundred meter, so it will be a continent again, not a bunch of islands. Rebounting also affect nearby continental crust, so australian and south american crust will shrink aswell. I would 100% add it to a video about antarctica. All the best from Hungary, great video nonetheless.

Colby Gura is my husband and he worked incredibly hard on this research. Makes me very happy to see his research shared❤️

We weren't born too late to explore Earth after all.

Everyone who was old enough to watch the 1982 Antarctica documentary narrated by helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady at U.S. outpost 31 knows what's under that ice.

Under the ice are millions of single socks, car keys and guitar picks.

This channel has single handedly made me 10x more interesting in conversations.

Oil? Sounds like Antarctica needs some freedom.

Antarctica is not only a reservoir of important resources but also a scientific research area with great discovery potential. What lurks beneath the ice could include unexplored ecosystems, valuable minerals, and even traces of ancient life.

Nobody:

I'd like to live in Antarctica. The fact that it would be extremely difficult for people to get to visit me sounds like the perfect place for me to be.

What an adventure! I thoroughly enjoyed learning so much more than I ever had dreamt concerning Antarctica! Thank you so much... KUDO'S for you sharing this with us all.

very, very interesting video. Truly fascinating the scale of Antarctica and how much of it isn't yet discovered. Needed to pause the video from time to time to check the terms, however curious and entertaining content. Hard to find such on youtube nowadays already. Keep up the good work with nice topics !
