No satellite views, no ISS flyovers, nothing. Not even during the winter, when the light's would be the only bright thing in the whole continent.

I know how Landsats and similar satellites orbit. They orbit in polar orbits in LEO, snapping a slightly different chunk of the earth every orbit. They go basically right over the poles, and in any case, their continuous orbit and gyration should make it nigh-impossible to not fly directly overhead Amundsen-Scott Station.

So why don't they have anything? Such an important research site, similar to the Russian base in Alexander Land, should have accurate satellite imagery just like any other part of the globe.

UNLESS...

Antarctica is not the shape we think it is. Unless the world is not of the parameters we were taught it is. I am not saying it's flat; that is a dumb idea with zero basis in reality. I am saying that maybe, just maybe, Antarctica is the biggest psyop ever, and maybe doesn't even exist! Who here has been to Antarctica? Hm?

Where is the South Pole?!
