Please Explain

Hey all, my name is Mike McConnell and I have a interesting conundrum to present all of the members of the Flat Earth Society with. I am a geologist with the USGS that has recently returned from a six month stay at the Casey Station in Antarctica ( 66° 16′ 54″ S, 110° 31′ 28″ E ) where I was studying the "Law Dome" ( 66° 44′ 0″ S, 112° 50′ 0″ E ) which is actually a very intriguing formation which is basically a mini Antarctic ice cap. While I spent a majority of my time in and around the Casey Station or the Law Dome, I did venture with others much deeper into the continent to explore other formations via helicopter and even on foot at times. I do my best to maintain an open mind to all theories, but I find it hard to believe in this "Ice Wall" considering I just got back from spending half a year on this continent. I did not experience any guards, or actually much of any living being the deeper I got into this very unforgiving landscape. I am curious to what possible explanations you can offer to my experience. Thank you for your time. - Mike

We've had some confusion with that in the past.  Simply put, due to the diminishing light from the sun and the general Antarctic weather conditions, you wouldn't be able to see the Ice Wall until you're very deeply inland, far beyond what is normally explored.  In that area, there would be no sunlight and even more brutal than normal weather.
