Snoot Entertainment has optioned the feature-length animation from the Oscar-nominated filmmaker.
The project is billed as a "genre-defying adventure which explores the world's coldest continent".
"Antarctica is an unusual project that's been turning around in my head for a very long time, uncertain how it would get made, and I'm excited to actually have the chance now to take the plunge with [Snoot producers Keith Calder and Jessica Calder] and their brave team," said Hertzfeldt.
"After 20 years of animating alone, this will also mark the first time I'll have the opportunity to work with a talented team of animators, and I'm looking forward to being able to walk into a room of hard-working artists every day and telling them that everything they're doing is wrong."
Hertzfeldt is best known for his animated shorts Rejected and Everything Will Be OK.
His latest short, World of Tomorrow, screened on the opening night of the 2015 Sundance Film Festival this week.
