That's an interesting question. Why aren't we? I figure we basically already have technology-wise so there's not any research left to do and we have no reason to actually move there yet.

We (foolishly in my opinion) signed treaties which made Antarctica a research-only continent.

Imagine if we had done the same to North America - the world might have never developed most of today's technology.

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. It would be pretty cool if Antarctica had been populated and urbanized.
