So, I agree with the theory there is an ice wall because of a number of other conclusions I can make. I would never place my full belief in any report, only what I can guarantee because I saw it myself.

What are these other conclusions? What did you see yourself that makes you believe in this ice wall?

And it took years longer than they expected, traveling like 60,000 kms, which is more than the equator. So definitely sus.

Where does this information come from? AFAIK there wasn't a circumnavigation of what is believed to be Antarctica.
