The process of terraforming Antarctica to be more habitable would destroy the rest of the Earth.

You don't have to terraform Antarctica; people already live there. Merely terraforming Mars to the point where it's as habitable as Antarctica would be extremely remarkable.

Well, you could wait a hundred million years or so and Antartica will move out towards the equator all by itself due to continental drift–no Earth destruction required ;)
