your obsession with children being harmed is a little disturbing...

Don't think that's the claim - it should be ships that appear to be over the horizon can be brought back into view

There's no need to protect Antarctica, -50° temperatures and 1000s of miles of barren icy Mountainous terrain do that, plus i dont think your allowed to take fuel beyond 60° south, there lots of ways they can limit you without an actual gun

maybe not, but that's one of chivas' claims

This! :D

Sure! more easy to open some fridges and make it cold, than shot every trespassers in the head and tell everybody else, they probably froze to death... :D
But how do you know there is Antartica? Did you see yourself, or you just buying the Explorers propaganda? XD :D

I mean, there must have been a conversation in the explorer lounge back in the day:
- So my gentlemans, as you know, I recently just came back from the new world and...
- Were there trees?
- Wha... of course there were trees...
- and were there bushes? The dirt was brown?
- Ehm, yes of course, but what kind of silly que...
- Then there is nothing new about that "New world".
- But there were savages and...
- Just like there!

*some other guy in the distance*
- I saw huge ass clear Ice mountains floating in water, bigger than my ship!
-...Nooo waaay duuude! :o


So, you get my point? :) You never have been on the Antartica, so you can't say with 100% accuracy, that it is really exist... If you think about it for a sec, it really sounds dumb, that there is a continent covered by ice entirely :D B)

Great, please provide an example of that. Note that ships that are too small to see are NOT over the horizon - they are just too small for the human eye to resolve, just like you can't see a mosquito 50 meters away even though it's clearly not over the horizon.
Here is an example of a ship that's over the horizon:

Looking for an example of something like this being looked at through a telescope and seeing the rest of the ship.
