"russia's recent claims of discovering 511 billion barrels of oil in british antarctic territority [sic] could be catastrophic for relations with the west, as Vladimir Putin could use it to leverge control"

"russian oil discovery in uk antarctic could spark 'fight' as Putin 'flexes' muscles"

If true, then this means the price of oil should crater once these reserves are exploited.

N.S.: If it's in the british antarctic, why is this being attributed to the russkies?

I know the superpowers have been battling in the arctic for land and presumably oil and metals,but didn't know about the South Pole.They're running out of areas to fight over.

Antarctica has generally been held to be a non-developmental continent. Resources to be left in the ground.
