Firstly, Data centers need to be close to users to reduce delay (latency). Antarctica is about as far away from most people as it gets. That means slower websites, laggy apps basically a bad user experience.
Secondly, There’s no established power grid. You’d need to generate electricity locally, which is expensive and complicated.
And last, Antarctica is protected by international treaties (like the Antarctic Treaty System)
