TC has been here longer than most of us, so you just start to remember stuff as time goes on.

I never understood this myth. Like, anybody can go there if they want. Aint nobody gonna stop you. I think one guy even went there and streamed it, and flat earthers still complained.

Thats so cold that you would literally die if you tried to take a breath without some kind of rig on

If given the opportunity, I would honestly do it as long as it's nothing crazy like fishing. I'd totally chill in one of those science communities for few months.

There's tourism in Antarctica during the summer.

Frankly I don't see why flat earthers insist on having the south pole be the edge of the earth. Why can't it be the north pole?

You're only allowed to visit certain areas of Antarctica around the coasts, IIRC. Also, there are only a hand full of companies that run these tourist trips, and they're all owned by one big company.

Also, you're not allowed to go into the middle of Antarctica, and I believe it's a no fly zone over that part. Hence the conspiracies.

By summer I take it you mean "day" since it's sunny for 6 months and then dark for 6 months.

You can go but you have to go on the ground / snowmobile and you have to go yourself. No tourist shop will take you because of liability reasons, but there's no one who will stop you if you just go on your own.

According to this, you can be fined heavily and imprisoned if you do so.

Its a nature preserve, international territory, and extremely dangerous. Id imagine those are the reasons.

I take it back. It looks like there are, in fact, tourist companies that will take you there.

If you got that kind of money to spend on looking at snow then by all means go for it.

People who work in Antarctica tend to use summer to describe the day season and winter for the night one.

My buddy married an Aussie woman and lives in Oz. There are tours departing from Australia, Argentina or Chile starting at $6.5K. Argentina and Chile are cheapest. They even have kind of a lay away payment plan. We are planning on it in 3-5 years. Two black guys from L.A.

The middle is kind of off-limits because while you might get there easily, getting back could be screwed up by the weather. The coastal areas have camps to shelter in (worst case scenario) and can be supplied more easily through logistics. Can't do that mid-continent.
