>>2016523Pan Man in /pmg/ on /biz/ has stated there have been core samples pulled from Antarctica from under the Ice that contain massive deposits of gold dust and even gold veins. I am no geologist but that would be nuts if true and would be something to consider if both the north & the south pole melt. What is the actual feasibility of an Antarctic gold rush and would it finally bring a permeant population to the continent aside from the scientists stationed there?
