Best Answer

Antarctica -- all land south of 60 degrees S -- is already protected by the Antarctic Treaty.

The purpose of declaring any geography as a World Heritage Site is to protect its culture -- Antarctica has none; and its physical significance. There is no reason to add the burden of declaring it a World Heritage Site.
