The main discoveries are being made in Siberia, where the permafrost is melting. Here, entire towns are reappearing after being buried for thousands of years, so research is interesting. Antarctica did begin its life much further north and drifted south, so it could well be that buried under all the ice will be the remnants of early man and other animals.
Of course, there is also the problem that the ice sheets move and so will have ground everything to dust and we will find nothing there, which is why the finds in Siberia and Mongolia are so important - no moving ice sheets, just frozen soil, so things are well preserved.

Depends on where the land mass under the ice is. We have, as just discovered, a whole lake under the ice. So it seems that there's not much land if/when the ice melts. The artifacts, if there are (I doubt it, due to the land mass moving millions of years before humans), will either be washed away and/or sink to the bottom of the lake or the ocean.

If the artifacts have been issues normally linked with a hotter climate, then particular, person-friendly sense says that it could have been warmer there in the past all the snow and ice geared up up. yet this isn't info for international warming - in fact it is basically the different: in case you come across some thing from a heat climate decrease than ice and snow, meaning issues are turning out to be chillier on account that then, no longer warmer.

Antarctica has been ice-bound since before any of the great apes evolved, never mind humans. If any artifacts are discovered there older than the 19th century it will truly be amazing as they would have to be non-human in origin.

Doubtful. I don't think Antarctica has ever seen civilization of any sort.

I think they will find Atlanits there.
