Yes, there does seem to be coal in Antarctica.

Explanation:

Antarctica is a very large continent, almost 2 times the size of Australia, but most of it is covered by thick ice so there has not been a lot of mineral or coal exploration so far. In fact there is a UN treaty that bans development of coal and other minerals from Antarctica.
