There is an Antarctica, this is not a conspiracy. The problem is what Antarctica is.

For the first time I agree with intikam. Most flat earther do not debate the existence of antarctica but its properties.

You would have to circumnavigate or cross it to disprove them.

Or observe a 24 hour day/night.

That's right.  It's Australia that doesn't exist.

Also take note that there's no GPS down there - or so I've heard. ...SO if you're getting sent to the "south pole" on a tourist trip - you would prolly have to verify it yourself with more accurate instrumentation...

Of course not, silly.  Everyone knows that Santa lives at the North Pole.

That's straightforward enough... if you understand what instrumentation is needed.

A sextant will do. An accurate clock and good magnetic compass will make it easier, but, absent (or if you don't trust) those, a sextant alone will do, with some more effort.

Yes, there is an Antarctica and we know where it is any what it looks like:

I don't get your point. I never said Australia exist or not. I have no effective idea about that situation.

A lot more than 40k people see angels, ghosts and other such things every year.

'Seeing Antarctica', like 'flying in outer space' is merely the age of science belief equivalent of 'looking upon the face of god' was during the age of mystical belief.
No less, and certainly no more, real.

Evidence that Roald Amundsen's and Robert Scott's expeditions were not genuine?
Evidence that you are a real person and not a chat-bot?

I believe that there is no doubt that those expeditions genuinely did reach the South Pole,
but I wouldn't put any money on Antirockballtheorist being a real human being, not even as real as Arealhumanbeing.

magnetic compass don't work at the south pole bud.  also - the oscillation of the sun during the summer in antarctica would be very difficult to judge with a sextant.

It's funny - but I think YOU don't understand the instrumentation required....

Actually a magnetic compass does work at the South Pole.  It just doesn't point where you might think that it should.

Why would you say that?  Is the oscillation any worse than the pitching and rolling deck of a ship at sea?

I'm fairly sure Amundsen used sextants to find the south pole on the basis that it was the point where the sun's height didn't change throughout the day. Anyway, here he is using one:



Since the south magnetic pole is quite a long way from the geographic one (at about 64oS) a magnetic compass would be far from redundant.

I think GNSS is also operational but with reduced accuracy as the satellites don't get so high in the sky.

Believe. Whatever you want.
Lacking doubt it still remains only that, something you believe.

it's like you're using words and then not applying the meaning to the sentence you created...

Magnetic south pole wanders, right? So does the geomagnetic one...albeit at a slower rate and there's all sorts of hypotheses out there to explain this.

Anywho - say amundsen uses a "sextant" to take "notes" on the differences in readings between the height of the sun where he's at and whatever his magnetic compass is telling him.

How does he progress?

I mean think for a second. You're sitting in whiteout conditions with a sextant and the height difference of the sun here has not really been observable since passing south of the 77th parallel....probably alot earlier.


For "GPS" Anyone wanna verify this picture?




Admunsen Base also supposedly has a "land based gps" system...but I'm having trouble connecting - a Trimble NetR8

https://www.unavco.org/projects/project-support/polar/base_stations_and_survey_systems/southpole/base.html

"With proper roving equipment, the system can be used as a base for centimeter-level post-processed surveys up to a 100 km radius"

So - a 62 mile radius around what they're claiming is the south pole.

Cool

Actually, it's headquartered in Arlington, Va. because it's a part of the National Science Foundation, and it's probably a lot more convenient to do the administrative stuff where the government offices are.
