In May 2024, Russia discovered one of the world's largest oil reserves beneath Antarctica's Weddell Sea, estimated at 511 billion barrels-nearly double that of Saudi Arabia. This breakthrough challenges the Antarctic Treaty, which bans resource extraction, and raises geopolitical tensions as nations eye Antarctica's untapped wealth. With the treaty up for review in 2048, the world's increasing energy demands may tempt nations to break the moratorium. Could Antarctica's frozen expanse become the next battleground for global control over energy resources?
