Antarctica - A wall of ice?

One of my best friends got the opportunity to drive a Porsche across Antarctica.

He didn't see any walls.

What's that about?

911 or a Taycan?

Some believe an icewall surround the earth. Some of those might say this is one of them:


It is unlikely that he would see the wall if he cut through a section of the antarctic. Though this entire story sounds contrived and fallacious.

The lengths of BS globe earthers have to resort to really says all you need to know about how shaky even they think the globe earth idea is. I mean, if it were so clear cut and provable, why wouldn't they start with that in their argument and not the ridiculous claims made here?

I guess his friend is Renee Brinkerhoff:

But on December 10, race car driver Renée Brinkerhoff and her Valkyrie Racing team completed a harrowing 356-mile trek across the blue ice of Union Glacier in a 1956 Porsche 356 A, conquering their goal of racing on all seven continents of the globe in one car.

That is not a Porsche. That's now just a shell. I had one of those pissy looking Smart ForTwo cars that could outrun that. And that could be in Australias snowy mountains for all we know

What constitutes something being a Porsche?

Could be, but evidence shows otherwise:

How very true! If every single point proves us wrong, why do they again and again come to our in hordes presenting time after time after time again nonsense.

No, you can't cross Antarctica in a Porsche. Even if we take the above at its word, his "Porsche" simply cut through a peninsula.

Correct, she only went 356 miles somewhere in the Union Glacier area. Maybe drove in circles, don't know.

356 miles gets you about nowhere considering the size of Antarctica, certainly not "across".

Yep, my mate is the one with the beard in the middle. Ex rally driver and FIA Porsche rally car builder.

Didn’t see any walls, apart from inside the cafeteria building which also wasn’t built on a wall.

How many of the FE weirdos can say they actually went there?

Photos suggests millions of penguins. How did your supposed mate pass all of them?



Penguins are amongst the most disgusting creatures in the world. They will f&#k anything with a hole, including chicks or dead animals. They are also blood thirsty and will kill anything they don't like without remorse.



Probably just killed something. Or someone....

Most walls that surround something don't end so abruptly.
Are you sure it isn't the rest of Earth surrounding the icewall of Antarctica?

I can drive 356 miles in Florida and never see the ocean. Does this mean the ocean doesn't exist?

Yes.

I can drive 356 miles in Florida and never see the ocean. Does this mean the ocean doesn't exist?

Of course not. But I'm pretty sure we possess the technology to get over a wall of ice that's a couple of hundred feet tall to see what's on the other side.

A, that photo is clearly fake
B, Antarctica is a massive area just like the arctic Not a fucking wall of ice only a  few hundred feet high. I could fly a kite over it, what would happen to the kite?

I went there and was denied access to the mainland. At the time I posted here and the administration (I wasn't always president) verified my IP was in the location in question. I also mailed one of the moderators a postcard from Punta Arenas.

Given the map above of their trip, why would you expect him to see a wall? 

I have a hunch you are just another anonymous internet guy that claims to know the Antarctic equivalent of Neil Armstrong.

Apparently your bearded buddy was on the forbidden side of the wall.

Erm, because you lot say Antarctica is a wall of ice surrounding a flat earth maybe? Not the huge continent that it really is.

B, Antarctica is a massive area just like the arctic Not a fucking wall of ice only a  few hundred feet high. I could fly a kite over it, what would happen to the kite?

Go fly a kite over it and let us know.

There is no wall.

There are walls of ice in some places around Antarctica. But our main base there at McMurdo is wall-less and accessible via plane or boat.

So you would expect them to see a wall that they travel nowhere near?

Looks like they probably made landfall at maybe McMurdo Station and Porche'd their way up to Union Glacier.

Here are all of the stations down there, various countries staking out their areas of interest:

Is Antarctica a wall or not, make your mind up.

Actually, it is a Porsche.  If you take the tracks and sleds off and put wheels back on, it's a genuine 1956 356 with genuine parts and worth a lot of money.

Seems you chaps just can't handle the truth.

So that's a no then?

Here is a list of people who have crossed Antarctica that we know of.

This 26 year old woman did it solo.

You would think at least one of them would have seen this ice wall.

Talking about seeing stuff.

Half of flat earth proponents only believe in direct evidence they can see for themselves. And considering that no one has seen this Antarctic wall, you would think it would have fallen out of favour by now.
