Point 7 not true anymore, and never was. To me, this is a Mandela Effect. Antarctica was closed off unless you had 'permission' to go. Now, anyone can go there for vacation, and they ALWAYS have been allowed to. There's a thriving cottage industry in Argentina taking people down during the summer. Any of us can head down there and hop a boat to Antarctica. To me - this is mindblowing. Not that we're allowed to go now, but that we've always been allowed to go there. It's never been closed.
I believe we are only limited by our means of travel. Since there are no roads to drive on, you would need to either secure some form of ground or air transport. Many people go hiking and backpacking every year, and then post their travel photos. Pretty sure you can get dropped off and freely walk south until you freeze to death. South pole much much colder than north pole due to land being below freezing vs ocean which can’t get below 0c underneath the ice. South pole has never even reached 0c (at least since measurements have been recorded).
