Flat Earthers like to claim that The Atlantic Treaty prohibits flights over Antarctica beyond 60º South Latitude. This is a lie. The treaty states no such thing. Here's the link tho the treaty. (www.ats.aq)

I’m not sure about the 60deg latitude claim, but the antarctic treaty unambiguously states that no one can go to antarctica without obtaining explicit permission from one or more of the member nations first.

the whole thing is a red herring in regards to the shape of the world though. no one needs to go there to determine the shape of the world. also the idea that antarctica is not a continent the shape we think it is, and is actually an ice wall that surrounds the known world, is exactly that - an idea.

the shape of the world does not depend on the shape of antarctica; that’s silly, regardless of its shape

No, it does not. I have linked to the document. It says no such thing.

is exactly that - an idea

Lots of Flat Earthers claim it as a fact.

No, it does not.

sounds like you haven’t read it closely.

Article vii sub 5
5. Each Contracting Party shall, at the time when the present Treaty enters into force for it, inform the other Contracting Parties, and thereafter shall give them notice in advance, of a. all expeditions to and within Antarctica, on the part of its ships or nationals, and all expeditions to Antarctica organized in or proceeding from its territory; b. all stations in Antarctica occupied by its nationals; and c. any military personnel or equipment intended to be introduced by it into Antarctica subject to the conditions prescribed in paragraph 2 of Article I of the present Treaty.

article x
Each of the Contracting Parties undertakes to exert appropriate efforts, consistent with the Charter of the United Nations, to the end that no one engages in any activity in Antarctica contrary to the principles or purposes of the present Treaty.

all expeditions must be approved by the host nations, and then given to the other member nations in advance of them for subsequent approval.

flat earthers are, largely, not real. they are agents and or products of a psyop. they repeat that “fact” because it was presented to them as such, like most all other claims of fact one might encounter.

earnest flat earth researchers may, of course, claim it as fact and have evidence to support their claim (a fact is merely one type of claim, after all). however, wether that fact is true or false doesn’t change the shape of the world - nor does the shape of the world depend on it being true (wether flat, round, or any other shape).

as i said, it’s all red herring to discussion/determination of the shape of the world anyhow.
