Abstract
Fuel oil has been extensively relied upon as an energy source since the earliest discovery and exploration of Antarctica.

Recently developed bioremediative technology, using indigenous Antarctic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, may be used to assist in cleaning up existing oil-contaminated land
