And say, if i was in Alaska and i kept going upwards, your theory suggests that i will run into this wall...right?

No' the ice wall is in the south, not above your head.

If you'd read the FAQ - you'd know that no-one is sure what is beyond the ice wall, if anything.

I'm moving this to Questions and Clarification for obvious reasons.

A website with no form of making money does not have the funds to do such a thing.

Welcome to the Flat Earth Society web site.  The site may not be set up to make money, but there's no reason that the society itself couldn't.

There is no known member with the funds to support such an expedition.

Are members on this forum too poor to buy some good boots, winter coats and skis? Besides if ever we get forst-bite, we can always ask them guards to help us out.  :o I'm in for the expedition.

There are cruise ships which make the trip to the arctic and antarctic all the time.  Try calling any travel agent.  I'll bet if you saved a little money each week, and maybe all pitched in together...

Then, we would have to sneak off the boat, across arctic-cold water, over a large amount of ice, then climb a wall of ice. All the while, we have to avoid any guards that may, or may not, be there.

Actually, I have a good friend who went to Antarctica on such a ship, and the ship stopped, and they were able to disembark and spend some time on the continent.  Different cruises have different objectives, and are intended for different levels of adventure.  Some are simply sightseeing with elegant accomodations, others are for more adventurous souls.

And I have another friend who went there with a group of teachers and spent several days and nights there.  Lived in tents and even swam in the waters.

It's hardly a closely guarded wall of ice.  Anyone can go there.

Again, call any travel agent and get some information on these trips yourself, don't just believe what you hear on this site from others who also have never been there.
