There have been coal seams discovered in Antartica.  Several times in geological history Antartica has had abindant plant & animal life, but not for a majority of the time.

Perhaps there is oil in Antartica, but the repeated addition and removal of ice sheets should surely stress the geology of Antartica and I would not be surpriced if most of the oil did not escape after repeated "flexing" of the cap rock and associated fractures.

Antartica is a small continent.  Slightly smaller than Australia from memory.  So I have little hope for more than a trickle of oil from there by 2150.

Sheesh... that article is real tinfoil-helmet stuff. But then they're gold bugs, aren't they? Most of the world's land is in the North; most of the world's continental shelf; most of the world's sedimentary basins; hence most of the oil.
