The earth will NOT be pushed out of its orbit.
The ice caps would NOT melt.
The result would be nucleaf fallout. A radio active dust cloud that, if caught by jets streams, will spread all over the face of the globe- the particle would get caught in rain, which would come fall down to earth and kill thousands if not millions of people. And many more generations down the road.

I think the ice cap there is several kilometres thick in some places, so only some cracking up and melting will occur. All animal life will be destroyed and the fall-out will affect the whole globe. Australia, New Zealand and Southern part of South America will hear big booms and experience light earthquakes. But then what a waste to do this and the two super powers or the UN will never allow to commit such an action for the sake of environmental preservation.

If you are implying that these countries are storing nuclear weapons in Antarctica...there aren't any. The Antarctic Treaty does not allow it.
If you are indicating "what would happen if all the nukes these countries possess were moved to and detonated in Antarctica"...probably nothing more than radiation and some melted ice.

And just how many nuclear/hydrogen bombs do we ALL have there, and why would we be keeping them all so close together???
Why do we not have a few in the ARCTIC as well??
Or dispersed around the world on Subs for greater security??

I will assume you really don't know.
If we do that, it would be the end of all life on earth. Just the US alone has enough nukes to destroy life many times over.
We have this acronyn - MAD, which stands for Mutually assured Destruction. It was understood between the nuclear powers that any attack on any of them would end with mutual destruction - & take everyone else with them.

Open air testing was banned long ago,it would likely create a lot of fallout

Probably not very much. The ice can handle it, but the ozone layer might not like it!

Much of it's glaciers would melt.
