Hmm,... better chance then a Comet,.. not as dangerous as a Comet,...
Although I enjoy the Advertisement where the old guy is like " Global Warming in 20 years *train honks in background and you figure out he is on train tracks with it heading towards him* NOT MY PROBLEM" then he hopes off and a little girl is standing behind where he was about to get hit.
I don't think this is something I could prepare for or care about. Also you might get some people here that will fight with you about how the South Pole doesn't exsist because Santa doesn't live there or something.
Again,.. nothing we could do and hopefully not my problem. But HEY,.. if it actually hit the South Pole hard enough (which it will hopefully break down before getting there) then maybe some people will get an unexpected Tropical Vacation before the flood of cold water decreaces temp of Earth and as some project would send us into an Ice Age again.

I think that current projections are for a very close cometary pass in 2029 with a very very small possibility that there will be enough of a nudge during that pass that it will smash into the earth about 7 years later. That's the biggest possibility that I've heard of recently (but there's a lot of stuff that's not being tracked). It should be pretty interesting in 2029 anyway - make sure that you are somewhere with nice clear skies and you should have a fabulous view.
Big smash into antarctica - no idea what the effects would be - sorry. Now that I think about it I bet that someone has posted something relevant here before :

they might both head for the midsection of the earth. yet they might collide on the way. The separation even as they emerge on the different aspect will be counted on their diameter and elasticity. better balls would collide previously and performance extra time to split. If the pliability is 0, they might stick mutually and emerge with 0 separation. If the collision is completely elastic, they might separate on a similar speed that they got here mutually. the placement develop into extra complicated because they are literally not bypass instantly in the route of the midsection of the earth. If, although the guy asking the question famous a thanks to eliminate the collision, the balls emerge with a similar separation as even as they entered. each and every travels on a line to the midsection of the Earth. Its momentum brings it as a lot because the exterior on the completed opposite aspect. From there, it reverses route, falls decrease back by the midsection and keeps to its starting up element.

It would make a big mess (wherever it hit), but the chance of it happening within 50 years is zero.

WOW !!! I think if that would ever happen we would probably be doomed the caps would probably melt in nano seconds and we would pretty much have no time to leave and get flooded by all the water

it depends how big is
it is said that such an explosion caused the dinosaurs extinction
the chance is very small
