Why dont you think planes fly over Antarctica?

[Anonymous]

From what pops up it says that there's fuel issues or not enough control towers or whatever but I remember a few years back I saw a video of a random person trying to fly their personal plane over the Antarctica ice wall and he was told he was trespassing and was escorted out by fighter jets, shit weird, then years later everyone just avoids that shit, some peepers claim to have seen green over the wall.

Its virtually impossible for any fighters to operate over Antarctica... they do not have the range and there are no suitable airports for them to operate from. The reason no other aircraft other than resupply or research is there is no point to flying over that area. Great circle routes do not connect any major cities take you over Antarctica. Its also a hostile environment where rescue would be almost impossible if an aircraft went down.

Where are all the idiots that get themselves killed at tho, every part of the world has those 😂

There are a few flights where it's commercially viable, and like other people say there's really nowhere to land and nowhere to get fuel. It's a huge fucking continent, like one and a half times the size of the United States. It's got to be at least 4000 miles wide plus an extra 1000 miles you need to get fuel. An unnecessary risk.

It is restricted airspace so obviously they're going to chase you out.

Wow what a genius you are, it blows my mind

Stephen Quayle wrote an interesting non-fiction book about it called "Empire Beneath the Ice". It's about how Admiral Byrd encountered Nazi anti-gravity craft (flying saucers) back in the mid 1940's in Antarctica.

Admiral bird brain was a fraud and retired in disgrace

It has nothing to do with flat earth but they are definitely hiding something behind the ice

[DryGermanGuy]

There is no "hiding" and there is no "they". If you want to go to Antarctica and trek or trail around, feel free to do so.

No reason to, and most commercial jets don’t have the range. Planes fly the shortest routes and over the Antarctic isn’t a shortcut to anywhere.
My cousin and his wife both used to fly there for the research stations

Have you seen the flying saucers sitting on the ice next to some cliffs? And those smug S. O. B.'s come off like they own the freaking world! We have EVERY right to see what's up down there!!

[Dongie]

Hey, did you lose this question?

I just happened to run across this short on YouTube. It's what you're asking about. Very curious!! 🫤

Because it's too cold, and they can't start a fire to warm themselves on an airplane :P

[Asker]

So they don't got heaters? 😂

[Opinion Owner]

No, because the global economy is in crisis due to trade tariffs :P

[katiesmuff]

I wouldn't have a clue!
