Why We Are Not Allowed to Visit Antarctica

Visiting Antarctica is heavily restricted for several important reasons. First and foremost, it's to protect the delicate and unique ecosystem that exists there. Human presence can disturb wildlife and flora that are not accustomed to outside interference. Antarctica's extreme environment poses significant risks to unprepared visitors, such as harsh weather conditions, freezing temperatures, and treacherous terrain. The continent is also considered a scientific preserve, and strict regulations are in place to maintain the integrity of ongoing research and prevent contamination. Overall, limiting access helps preserve this pristine environment and ensures that scientific exploration can continue without undue disruption.

I wonder who got rights to decide what to open or close on this Earth. So much entitlement, it really is amazing.

[@uldispaze7325]

[@keturaequalizer]

The countries that own the area. 💯

[@CrabbinFever]

Antarctica is the gateway to a part of the earth that exists highly evolved humans. They have highly sophisticated technology, and they essentially farm us. I seen it with my own eyes in 1983 and 1989.

[@user-fr3if6uu1q]

Can u elaborate?

[@keturaequalizer]

@@user-fr3if6uu1q Britain, France, Norway and Germany own the antartica. Britain was the first to claim part of the land there in the 1800. The other countries followed suit later. In 1959 Argentina and Chile claimed the land within the British territory. That is still an on going battle to this day. Norway has alot of say and making the rules in the Antartica as they have permanent bases with researchers, scientisits and engineers working there all year round. They are also a humaritarian nation and are preserving and protecting the animals there and keeping and eye on the environmental movements. So these are the countries who decide weather to open or close the Antartica. Its said that its melting big time due to the environmental changes on earth. Nobody knows what is under that ice and snow. Maybe in the future they might find minerals and oil?! Its a political game.

Technically, you can go to Antarctica, it's just that you won't be supported when you get there. Without support, ie food, fuel, maintenance and so on, you can't survive for long. Outside of the scientific bases set up by the various nations there is no infrastructure and the environment is very hostile to life. I remember when I was there a guy flew down in a small private aircraft and landed at our base. He was refused fuel and any other support other than to get a bite to eat and use the bathroom, so he had to turn around and fly home. He had just enough fuel to get back to Tierra del Fuego, otherwise he would have had to have left the aircraft there and pay to get it shipped back at his own expense.

The only requirements to visit Antarctica are a permit and passport. Tourism companys usually take care of the permit, but you can personally obtain one on your own. This is the permit form for US citizens. You will need to complete a DS-4131 ADVANCE NOTIFICATION FORM - TOURIST AND OTHER NON-GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES IN THE ANTARCTIC TREATY AREA. A simple Google search will confirm this.

Alot more people would die of cold if they did that the average temperature is -70. Also how do you build a city on constantly shifting ice where a big crevasse can open up and swallow an entire building? You hear stories about the ice melting but that only happens on the more northerly parts of the coast most of Antarctica is always way below freezing. Antarctica is a desert the annual snowfall is only a few inches even though only a small percentage of antarctica is melting the snow doesn't pile up very fast so the ice sheet is losing mass and the rate of mass loss will only increase as the ice gets thinner.

[@eezonly1sand0s54]

My curiosity is along that same vein. Is the current belief that the mass of accumulation was over millions of years at the same rate, varying precipitation levels over the years or formation of ice from the sea due to extreme low temperatures?
