EXPLORATION IN ANTARCTICA 

The activities of the exploration and exploitation of oil and gas in Antarctica could be advantageous for our society. Contrarily some people finds it drawbacks.

First of all, state that the continent of Antartica is mostly lifeless, and only the coastal areas support life. However the oppositors admit that is a largely lifeless continent she refutes the writer’s point and remarks that oil and gas would have to be shipped exactly from these coastal areas.

Furthermore, we believe that Antarctica is similar to the North Sea and Alaska, which used to be believed to be resistant to safe but exploitation which nowadays are extremely valuable resources of energy. Inversely the other people calls into question and contends that this is not a good comparison and alludes to the difficulty to drill for oil and gas in the continent.

Moreover, we can admit that building and maintaining the infrastructure needed to drill, pump, and transport oil and gas from Antarctica is too expensive now, but claims that might get cheaper in the future, when other fossils fuels run out. 

Conversely the oppositors disagree with him and alleges that no matter how much a barrel of oil can be sold for, it would still prohibitively expansive and unbelievably expensive. Besides, we claims that just a small elite group of scientists and environmentalists controls the agenda of all the continent and decide about the future of Antarctica future. On the contrary the oppositors undermine the author’s point and indicates that it is not only the elite, also the government representatives of a variety of countries attending to Antartica. countries. Then she asserts scientists have to make sure Antartica will remain undeveloped for generations to come.

To summarize,  a group of people is a proponent of the idea that endorse the activities of exploration and exploitation in Antarctica. In contrast another group of people is a detractor of this opinion and does not believe in these activities.
