Add in that no one really goes there due to the treaty.

How does the treaty keep people from going to Antarctica?  There's even a segment of the tourist industry that specializes in trips to the Antarctic and geographic south pole.

I mean, theres little motive when all you can do there is science.

Not true.  Among other things, if you're up to it, you can run a marathon near the south pole. 

On December 12th, 2009, the fifth Antarctic Ice Marathon will take place at 80 Degrees South, just a few hundred miles from the South Pole at the foot of the Ellsworth Mountains. This race presents a truly formidable and genuine Antarctic challenge with underfoot conditions comprising snow and ice throughout, an average windchill temperature of ?20C, and the possibility of strong Katabatic winds to contend with. Furthermore, the event takes place at an altitude of 3,000 feet.

I mean compared to the traffic we'd see if we could mine/drill out there etc.

Well it turns out that youre all wrong, laughing at many of your posts with my company commander, you are all a laughing stock to the light infantry in the UK, but we calculated the amount of men needed to guard Salisbury, and then made it into and antartic figure.

So say you needed equipment, it would need to be very advanced, and essential, not only that, but all the guards would have to be paid enough to do their jobs and let home without even one of them telling anyone, now before i get onto the HQ of the guards ill put up some figures...

The maximum hours a soldier under Very extreme/stressful conditions is 28 hours ... this is before death or fainting

a team working in a stressful condition would have to be no less than 18.
The maximum range of working on an arctic climate with arctic weather is 500M

Now 1 mile = 609 Miters
The circumference of the earth is 78,225 miles
so you would need a need 2 teams working 12 hours each of 18 every 500M to keep it secure.
78,225 miles into miters is 47,639,025
Now 47,639,025 divided by 500 is 95 278.05
95 278.05 x 36 (Men) = 3 430 009.8 (men)

So yes, you would NEED THREEMILLIONFOURHUNDREDANDTHIRTYTHOUSANDANDNINEPOINTEIGHT men to guard your magical ice wall, enjoy.

Now thats nice. But they claim that cameras and automated gun turrets are sufficient.

On the other hand, I don't see why they would bother guarding it at all.  But thats me.

I doubt the region is actively guarded. It's very remoteness and hostile environment make that unnecessary, in my opinion.

I personally don't believe Antarctica is the 'ice wall', so there is absolutely no need for Antarctic IW guards.

I don't believe that guards are necessary at all.

You should pay better attention.

What is being protected/guarded? If beyond the wall is nothingness, then there's no point in guarding it as those who go there will not return. If there is just a vast wasteland of ice, isn't that what Antarctica is?

Well automated gun turrets do not exist, so thats one big fail for anyone who thinks they do, also the chips would freeze up and crack in any temperature -3C and any heating system thay can try and tell me that NASA would have would simply break every 3 hours, if not less..

This thread is hilarious.....
