Antarctic pollution ?

I've just viewed some YouTube video of C130s operating from the Antarctic bases. One showed pax boarding whilst the a/c sat with engines running, spewing vast amounts of condensation/contrail which blew around. Given that we should be preserving these lands, just how much Jet A1 could there be in that exhaust and would it settle out on the surface ?
