No boats or gas is allowed below the 60th parrellel south without written permission from multiple states - you think you can just get a boat , tell everyone your plan and just do it.

Seriously it would probably be easier to build a rocket and fly up 400 miles and then just fly over antarctica - you know cause rockets work fine in a vacuum .....

What is your source for this information?

You talking about the Antarctica treaty?

You do you explain all the chips who sailed to Antarctica

what source do you have thats its not true?

yes its more than just the continent , i read the last "circumnavigation" of antarctica was from a guy who did not cross this parallel cause it would break to many laws

How do you explain all the ships who sailed to Antarctica then

The treaty also says ( http://www.ats.aq/e/ats.htm )

Freedom of scientific investigation in Antarctica and cooperation toward that end … shall continue (Art. II).

Scientific observations and results from Antarctica shall be exchanged and made freely available (Art. III).

There's a bit of a contradiction here then.





Where did you read this?
I must have missed something

None really. I do have a friend whose father has visited Antarctica (by airplane), he did not need anybody's approval, and he found it a very interesting trip. Of course that may have been a lie, so it doesn't prove anything.

I'm just wondering why you say that written approval is needed from several states. If you believe this to be true, I assume you got this information from a credible source?

This is true. When flying and plotting your flight plan they do inquire in regards to your research and scientific intentions. They won't deny you, they do track you though generally with multiple transponders due to the dangers involved. I was told this via the RCAF. It isn't owned after all by any nation.

I am ofc talking about when flying into amundsen scott station
