tourist traps cool, so do any of them allow you to explore Antarctica or do they just show you what you're allowed to see?
I put a stick in the ground in by backyard and i only charge 25k
to run around it
I call it a May Pole, proves Cat Earth - you too poor to see it i guess.
Those moving goal posts though. First nobody was allowed anywhere near Antarctica. Then people were allowed near, but no flights over it. Then flights were allowed over, but not directly over the pole. Now you can land right at the pole, but you can't explore.
Isn't it supposed to be just an ice wall? How are they gonna fly over miles of ice and snow and where are they gonna land?

Antarctic tourism is booming. Last year over 34,000 tourists visited the continent
Oh man, that's a lot of people in on the conspiracy. Or they are all reptiles. 34,000 reptiles visiting Antarctica to keep up the conspiracy.
edit: Oh, and yes you can explore Antarctica as much as you want. You won't be able to do this with your tour, because they aren't gonna sit around waiting for you to do whatever you want, but you can most certainly do this on your own. You may need a permit if you want to enter environmentally protected areas. You can apply for one here:
