I am flattered that you guys believe tourism and tour guides are so credible, but it saddens me to inform you that it is not the case.
if a tour guide want to lie to be about the flowers i see, the history of a place, who has been there, whether cocaine was ever in coca-cola etc...sure they can get away with a lot knowingly and unknowingly.
If i am in Australia, and pay for a flight over Antarctica, and I get there in 3 hours and fly over this ice continent for several hours, I am not sure where else I could possibly be.
Unless the tourism company is on the conspiracy, they would have no reason to lie to me and try to trick me. Flying me over Antarctica would be easier than faking it. If they are involved, this is a huge risk to exposure.
We are not accepting what a tour guide says, just that the trip offered goes where it says it goes. Absent any evidence otherwise and the difficulty in the southern hemisphere to fake it, why wouldn't we believe the flights go over Antarctica.
When the tour tells you are over Antarctica, you can verify with GPS your location. You can verify with a compass your direction of travel
If these are faked, again that means this tourism company is part of the conspiracy.
At this point the burden is on you to demonstrate why this is unreliable evidence that travel to the pole is possible, that no ice wall exists, and why everything observed conforms with RET and not FET. (Aether induced hallucinations?)
