This is supposed to be protected land, but my guess is democracy or communism is coming really fast in the freezing desert.

Russia has found vast oil and gas reserves in the Antarctic, much of it in areas claimed by the UK.

The surveys are a prelude to bringing in drilling rigs to exploit the pristine region for fossil fuels, MPs have warned.

Reserves totalling 511bn barrels of oil – about 10 times the North Sea’s entire 50-year output – have been reported to Moscow by Russian research ships, according to evidence given to the Commons Environment Audit Committee (EAC) last week.

They can reach that without drilling in a "restricted area".

At least there's no one there to complain about being colonized.

I don't know why we don't have a joint ownership of the Antarctic with Russia, for exploration, science, etc. Probably the best two nations situated for that.

Who knew?

While Russia and China are exploring and finding new sources of oil and gas worlwide Pedo Joe/(Barrack Hussien (heavy on the Hussien) Obama are destroying America's fossil fuel industry. Can't emphasize how dangerous this is should we have to go to war or face a coming ice age.

I've been open to abiogenic oil theory for years.

We also should have been building more refineries and fewer wind/solar "farms".

It's hard to deny when other planets and moons in our solar system have abundant hydrocarbons too.

ThinePreparedAni should remind them about our agreement with the aliens to stay away from Antarctica.

Russia start drilling there they will not be around long. I would imagine that the Aliens living in that secret underground base where the UFO's come from will not take kindly to people coming that close to them.

Required disclaimer- I fricking hate Obama and Joe.

You are a nimrod for spouting off about the oil and gas industry if you really don't know much about it.

I'm open to the theory that Antarctica was milder and teaming with life millions of years ago.
