What are the potentials of Antarctica?

I hadn't realized that Antarctica was once warm and temperate. There could be tons of fossils there. We've used it to study the level of carbon in the Earth, but imagine if we could look deeper? The continent also has an ancient lake (Vostok), which could still have extremophile bacteria / viruses and organisms. Opening it could contaminate the lake, or the earth. 

What other potentials for Antarctica are there for research?

Maybe the lake, but not the earth.  The extremophile bacteria would be easily outcompeted by ordinary bacteria (who don't have to spend energy supporting all the bells and whistles that the extremophiles use to survive in harsh conditions).
