the Antarctica Treaty requires it, depending on which area of the ice wall you plan to go to...

Anyone can sail to Antarctica - you just need permission and that permission depends on what you plan to do - if you just wanna look at some penguins - pretty sure that's fine with them.
otherwise you have to take a pre planed tour - pretty easy to put up "do not cross lines" - humans are just sheeple mostly - afraid to step out of line. Thats why they all believe in the consensus - its just fear - so easy to control them, they had a lifetime of bending to authority.

That being the case nothing in the anarctica treaty prevents you from exploring the wall

Article 1 – The area is to be used for peaceful purposes only; military activity, such as weapons testing, is prohibited but military personnel and equipment may be used for scientific research or any other peaceful purpose;
Article 2 – Freedom of scientific investigations and cooperation shall continue;
Article 3 – Free exchange of information and personnel in cooperation with the United Nations and other international agencies;
Article 7 – Treaty-state observers have free access, including aerial observation, to any area and may inspect all stations, installations, and equipment; advance notice of all activities and of the introduction of military personnel must be given;

The 60deg clause you mentioned was
Article 6
The provisions of the present Treaty shall apply to the area south of 60º South Latitude,
including all ice shelves, but nothing in the present Treaty shall prejudice or in any way affect the rights,
or the exercise of the rights,
of any State under international law with regard to the high seas within that area.

Ownd

good luck trying to wave those paper documents or mentioning web links to military personnel with automatic rifles pointed at your head as you attempt to hike inland after ascending the ice wall.....thousands of miles away from civilization and "witnesses"
but hey, go prove me wrong.

What's your source for the fact that the Antarctica Treaty requires this?

That would violate article 2 and 3 and no proof exists of enforcements to this degree
Right now we only have your word

Ships have sailed to Anarctica and people have visited.

Further more if you read the previous posts I suggested just sailing along the Ice wall and taking photos at intevals on top

I'm not retyping it again, please read them for more detail
