Can someone please tell me what is in Antarctica?
I’ve got a friend is obsessed in conspiracy theories. I try not to listen to his shit.
Hes just told me to google this place and asked me why countries are afraid to explore this place and a lot of them have signed an agreement to not go near it.

I don’t know this he told me to look into it and I can’t be arsed with his theories.

Hes saying there is an ice wall no one can go behond! He’s talking about flat earth and why planes don’t dip when they go around it. If the world is spinning a thousand mile an hour why do we land in the same spot if we go up in an helicopter for a minute then land back down.

Honestly I have had to leave. I’m not sure if it’s the wine talking with him

You could always ask the little man in green in this thoroughly accurate drawing.

First one down, it’s copyrighted so I’m not copying it.

Now I know why my friend, who worked for many years at the British Antarctic Survey as a PA, never went out there although she qualified. I thought she just didn’t want to be cut off from normal life for six months.

Either that or your friend is mistaken.

He's not mistaken, he's ignoring facts and reality. It's not an error, he's made a choice.

Exactly what I said you really have gone down the hole. No wonder he gets so depressed about things

Snow, ice, some mountains, penguins, a few scientists, and a lot of empty space. No impenetrable ice walls.

Your friend has fallen down the conspiracy rabbit hole. He's gone full loony.
