I recall that being my first thought too. Before I started researching for myself.

If you look at the maps in this post, the answer to your question becomes clear. In fact, what becomes clear is that your question cannot be answered. Unless of course you have been able to personally climb the giant ice wall and trek across hundreds of miles of ice to find your answer.

In the flat earth map the South Pole is a massive area of ridiculously harsh conditions surrounding us. And we the common folk cannot get there without specialised equipment, funding and government permission.

The last major exploration of the South pole was conducted by Admiral Richard Byrd's (Operation Highjump (1946–1947) after which he gave this interview:

He says clearly that there will be more and more government funded expeditions into this region, because it is 'by far the most valuable place in the world', and an 'untouched reservoir of natural recourses'. He mentions specifically coal, oil and other minerals 'enough to supply the whole world'.

Curious then that shortly after this last mission, the Antarctic Treaty was signed by numerous nations to guarantee that it remained undeveloped as a 'scientific preserve, establishing freedom for scientific investigation.' We are talking about a continent here. An area larger than the USA declared 'off limits'. Bit odd, no?

This subject is a great exercise in pushing our minds to question that which is assumed as obvious.

Having researched it extensively I can assure you there is something amiss with the story we have been sold all our lives.

Watch The Truman Show again. A whole world contained within a dome in which Truman is kept away from the 'edge' using harsh conditions & and phycological conditioning.

I hope this will inspire you to do your own research.
