- Scientific privileges would be destroyed
- New extraction methods
- Environmentally hinder the layers of permafrost
- Huge new international problem - who gains/profits from the new resources
- Huge disagreements
- Wars between nations

- Economic use
- Scarce resources alone would create a huge economic boost (Whales, coal, hydrocarbons, oil, iron ore, gold)
- Conclusion
- Antarctic region is too precious to be put under the exploitation of development
- Too susceptible to destroying effects
- The environmental consequesnses greatly outweigh the insignificantly comparable advantages
