What's up with Antarctica? Maybe I missed something. Why are politicians like Obama and John Kerry going there? Why did Trump go there? I thought the only people there were studying the ice sheet and penguins. Fill me in.

I read something the other day where Iran is attempting to claim some real estate there.

My guess is it's to promote GLOBAL WARMING !
The largest iceberg on record just calved in the last month or so.
Never heard of Trump going there.
Obama and John Kerry , makes sense since they're anti American , and want a One World Government run by guess who?

You know about how the continents move right? How they all used to fit together. Imagine Africa and South America as puzzle pieces and put them together kinda thing. So everything was all together and busted appart. So they think theres pyramids there for example is one theory and is interesting. Imagine if all of the sites in Egypt hadn't been pillaged and were just frozen in time. How much ancient civilization documentation there must be. Anyway thats neat. Other theories are that down there the door the center of earth where the aliens live.

Something down right factual about it is that's interesting (maybe I should google that some more) is that Antarctica was discovered in blah blah blah but it shows up on ancient maps that are older than that.

Thats what they say anyway.

https://oceanwide-expeditions.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-antarctica-in-maps


"The first sighting of Antarctica is now widely acknowledged to have taken place on the 28th (maybe the 27th) of January 1820 during the voyage of two Russian ships, the Vostok and Mirnyi under the command of Captain Fabien (Thaddeus) Gottleib von Bellingshausen during a two year exploratory expedition around the world"

"Originally completed in 1590, Plancius's world map depicts Antarctica as nearly reaching the southern end of South America, like Theatrum"

In the event of global thermonuclear war
between the United States, the Russians,
the North Koreans, and the Chinks, the only
theoretical sanctuary from radioactive
fallout would be in certain Antarctic regions
which are purported to experience zero
rainfall and/or precipitation.

Sounds like the global elites are going down
there to stake out their claims for extended
vacations in the nether regions while the rest
of us become air pollution or fertilizer !!! lol laugh

Some believe that the earth is flat and that is where the end of earth is, also some believe that that is where heaven begins... so maybe they are trying to figure out how to get into heaven. Because not sure if some qualify the conventional ways.

I don't think the earth is flat, but I do think there are certain places in this world where there are portals and allow for dimensional travel outside our understanding.
I no longer subscribe to plate tectonic theory, but rather rapid earth expansion theory.

WOW Interesting theory's here.
From what I know, the Antarctic is the coldest place on earth .
So the globalists will use any change in that content is going to be used for their scam.
The earth is tilting a little every year, has been since the very beginning ,
At least once it's flopped poles from what's been written of science.
So now the 1400 were in a mini ice age , not much more than 2500 years ago our country was almost covered in ice.
You really think human use of fossil fuels is going to change what the earth is going to do?
It had no bearing on what happened for billions of years.
It evolved not because of inhabitants , or their use of fuels .
Volcanos produce more carbon monoxide than all of humans heating/transportation systems in a day.
Now think about what you learned in school about carbon dioxide .
Isn't that what animals including humans expel from breathing?
Plants transfer carbon dioxide into oxygen!
It's how plants live , they need that chemical to live.
Yet these globalists insist that carbon dioxide is causing global warming.
Everything depends on each other to survive.
Being hunters and trappers , we should know that better than anyone.
Pay attention to what they claim, they have no idea what they're saying.

I find it interesting that pinguins are only in the south , along with sea lions , while polar bears and walrus are in the north.

Always wondered how they had maps back then also.

Absolutely. That's how Sasquatch comes and goes at will, through portals. He's inter-dimensional.
I read that in a Louis L'amour book. Riders of The Haunted Mesa, or something like that.

I forgot what year it was, but the major countries of the world agreed upon that there would be no drilling and mining etc in Antarctica and that it would only be used for scientific reasons. My guess is that some countries want to take back that agreement as there are abundant natural resources on that continent worth a lot of money. There is bound to be some kerfuffle over that in the not to distant future and everyone want to have as big of a slice of that cake as possible.

It's crazy how little we know about the history of exploration on this planet and the history of humans on the earth especially in relation to things like tectonic movement and the Biblical flood.

There plausible evidence that the Scandinavians were in Canada and as far south as today's Minnesota in the 1300's. And 10 ships of Welsh families settled in North America, landing on Mobile Bay Alabama in 1170.

Guess we'll never know the details, but for sure I have learned to question everything I was taught in school about the Earth's history.

Well, on the current path we are heading it won't be long before we are no longer a major country, so we will be able to drill, mine and plunder as we see fit.

Be a pretty good place to take shelter and wait out a release of a highly fatal disease if you built infrastructure ahead of time. Clear off the face of the earth then when the threat passed you would have it all.

That old map is very interesting. I hear the conspiracy theories too. Not sure what to believe is true unless I see it. A guy named Juan o' Savin gave a report from there the other day.

Very true.

Antarctica also has complete ban on hunting and trapping. I can understand protecting the complete ecosystem that is unique to that continent ,

Butttttttt...........

Scientific non destructive trapping of wildlife strictly for research would gain us so much knowledge , but it is verbotten.

Another failed trapping ban....... frown

Cragar, the problem is if one allows any loose in those rules, folks like the Japanese will go and turn the thing on its head; Look at the ban on Whaling.... only allowed to take them for research and look what the Maps are doing. taking hundreds per year all in the name of science and they somehow make it onto the meat market after the "scientists " are done with them.

Very true. I think as most people that the Japanese 'scientists' are a complete farce. There is also a couple Scandinavian countries still doing very limited whaling. Luckily , they take from lesser whales like Minke whales that have very sustainable populations. But the world needs to hold the Japanese accountable for what they are doing.

I just feel bad for the REAL scientists in Antarctica , who are losing valuable research.
