According to the University of Rhode Island, it's been about 40 million years since the waters around Antarctica were warm enough for sharks. However, this could be changed by the effects of global warming.

Sharks no longer live in Antarctica because the cold waters do not form a viable habitat. Forty million years ago, when the Antarctic waters were much warmer, sharks did inhabit the area.
