It's a pretty neat thought! We know now that there are areas of Siberia that were once fertile enough to host herds of woolly mammoths, etc. It's exciting to think that, at some prior age, Antarctica could have been the same way
I also think it's great that there's a possibility of learning new things about the planet and Humanity, at this point in time. We think we know all there is to know but then we get a surprise and the opportunity to learn more.
If you haven’t already read about it, read up a bit on the island of Flores and Homo Floresiensis. The official story is that they’re long gone. The old timey locals say they were getting beaten up by Homo sapiens until a couple hundred years ago, disappeared into the jungle for safety, and are most likely still there.

At some point in the past Antarctica was at the equator. Magnetic Pole shifts can seriously rearrange things
