When the treaty preventing Antarctic development expires in 2050 I expect there will be some attempts to properly settle it by Russia at least
What technologies would it require to build a stable, safe city on top of ice, to power it and keep shit from freezing? Would you want to live someplace with a remarkable view, but where it is difficult/dangerous to go outdoors? Assume the interiors of the buildings are all super attractive and cozy.

With global warming in full swing by them some of it might become Svalbard-tier

No government will let it happen because people will discover the truth about the Earth's shape.

I would love to live there.

Fuck yes
Only problem is getting a stable source of power to draw from. Doesn't Antarctica have stable winds and volcanoes?

No, they'll just renew the treaty.

No, they certainly won't. Antarctica is too precious of a resource to remain untouched for much longer. I think it's likely we'll see expansion into Antarctica before the treaty even expires.

The antarctic is not melting, entropy is doing it's work and the ice that came off the arctic is now growing in the antarctic.

Russia already has plenty of empty cold frozen shithole to colonize. Antartica is way too hostile for it ever to be worth it. The entire point of every colony ever is to turn a profit.

I've always wanted to live in a place that has no natural resources or infrastructure, but Antarctica is too scary because the shoggoths might get me.

We should all move to Antarctica and study maths. The first science-built society.

There's more resources to be had in space but no one really cares because it's a nightmare.

i've been to mcmurdo and thats pretty much what it is.
its weird as fuck to be honest. its just a bunch of scientists doing labwork, getting piss drunk at the little cantina, and watching star trek on repeat.

you could say the same about space and Mars, but people still want to colonize those

T-that sounds like heaven.

Mars is not Earth thats the allure. If an asteroid hits or WW3 breaks out being on Mars is a good idea. Antartica the nukes can still get to you.
