Nothing happens in Antarctica because the world powers signed a treaty in 1959 causing that to happen[1]. If it was open land that was allowed inhabited and owned by people forming new governments, I would bet you would see settlements sprout up there quite quickly. In space you might be able to set up new sovereign entities. That is one major reason people will want to go there.
