    Interesting video, Rick. I got the feeling already from the GPS network and the reliance of scientists on US collected data from there that MBL was essentially US territory. The position of Russkiya within its confines remains intriguing. Did the US tell the USSR to clear off? [not that they were ever "enemies"]

    I think they kicked the Russians out-- as you suggest. Of course I'm guessing. However in looking at the situation as mere mortals, we almost have to invest "likely scenarios". We don't have the where with all to nail facts down with proof. YOU and I know-- Russkaya was a legit base and Russians are hardy explorers. Now that we've locked onto the increasing weirdness of the Marie Byrdland Zone-- it makes sense to think that the USA kicked em out-- ESPECIALLY considering the incredlble number of flights and geological robot stations that you found in this area. That's truly weird-- because there are none in the other half of Antarctica.

    ESSENTIALLY US territory-- eh? And the world is to think it's "unclaimed". This is a pretty big news item. This is a CONTINENT.

    I'm eating aged cheese tonight in the hope I can stimulate astral travel to the zone.

Hi, I'm Captain Rick of the Virtual Circumference Voyage of Antarctica. I intend to prove definitively if Earth is flat or a sphere by paying careful attention to how many miles we cover as we travel "around" Antarctica. Flat earth theory says it's 50-60,000 miles. Spherical Earth theory says it 14,000 miles. Join me and ask any questions that you think would help our mission.
