Answer:
Antarctic stations and logistics rely on the use of fuel. Diesel fuel is used to make water, generate power for light and heating, run vehicles, aircraft and camp stoves. Fuel transfer is always a potentially hazardous procedure, whether it be a major station refuelling operation, or refilling a quad out in the field.

The price for a barrel of oil is now high which would make oil extraction in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean economically viable and profitable. In addition, climate change has led to the retreat and thinning of ice sheets, making drilling much easier and less dangerous
