Ok, but that's unironically a great map for a TTRPG campaign.
I'm thinking Lovecraft. Plateau of Leng and all that. There's just this huge, impassable land that goes south for what seems like forever. And...things...occasionally wander out of it.

It's just the ice wall on the edge of the flat earth. Checkmate, globe-lovers!

And getting smaller everyday
Can we talk about how big that structure is?
About three times the size of Europe it seems, one hell of a building.
and we certainly wont be in a few hundred years lmao.
I mean, show us the whole thing then!
How am I supposed to know how big that is? I don't see a banana anywhere....
it's too cold steel wool they don't have bananas
because it's smaller than a pixel :)
I yeah i see it now, it's the pixel in the bottom right corner
it's 3% more banana-colored than the surrounding pixels, you can't miss it
there ya go.
My country holds a claim and permanent population to a portion of antartica.
Many have "claims". None are valid though.
Yeah but the permanent population is there, sakd claim precedes the treaty.
You're talking about penguins, right?
humans, in a town called "Villa las Estrellas".
It seems that treaty: 1959, town: 1984.
The claim is older, 1940's iirc
All are equally valid
How many flags are planted? No flag, no Antarctica. Those are the rules that I just made up.
So then like a bunch of people own Mt Everest.
but that means the US owns the moon, so it's ok.
I dunno. Looks like the moon just surrendered by now.
idk man i think we would win in a war against the moon.
No bears, tho.
Serious Q: isn't there actually a lot resources in Antarctica? Or is it just too difficult to set up shop there?
There certainly are, but...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_Treaty_System
This treaty means the entire continent is for science only.
When you say resources what resources are you referring to specifically?
Not sure but mineables? Im probably oversimplifying because all my knowledge of getting stuff out of the ground comes from games but stuff like metals.
You mean like ores like copper, iron, rare earths that kinda thing. There are seems of minerals that are actually meteorites that have collected in certain spots on a glacier. Haven't heard anything about other large deposits but usually you would need to do all kinds of geological surveys to find that stuff and since most places are covered in 1mile+ of ice it's near impossible.
Penguin leather
Cool band name
They do punk songs about Linux.
Most planets, and much of our planet, is uninhabitable. This is the threat of climate change. Antarctica is a desert.
Oil rigs and mines aren't exactly living off the land. Dropping enough preserved food off to supply a facility wouldn't be too difficult. The main reason nobody's doing it is the international treaties involved
That's not the point. The point is the uninhabitable and impossible to live off the land places are expanding on our planet.
Big if true
