Antarctica is the most remote area on earth. A very long time ago it was in a much warmer climate zone.
Brad Olsen is quite the intrepid investigator and knows a thing or two about Antarctica.

"Go back 100 million years ago and Antarctica was covered in lush rainforests similar to those that exist in New Zealand today," said Dr Vanessa Bowman who works with Francis at the University of Leeds.
"We commonly find whole fossilised logs that must have come from really big trees." https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-12378934
"Scott was right all along, his fossils have a lasting legacy," says Colin Osborne, a biologist at Sheffield University, UK.
The collection contained some of the first plant fossils found in Antarctica, the remains of ancient lush deciduous forests that carpeted the continent about 250 million years ago.
The fossilised leaves and bark, now in the archives of London's Natural History Museum, show Antarctica was once green and warm. Exactly how forests managed to flourish at what is now the South Pole has been contentious ever since." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3036272.stm

Antarctica isn't an international park, but it has several restrictions, nonetheless. Of course Antarctica has its fair share of mysteries.
