Serious Q: isn't there actually a lot resources in Antarctica? Or is it just too difficult to set up shop there?

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.
