Ruskaya, the MYSTERIOUS Russian Antarctica station where cold bacteria survive.

Felix added to my possible understanding of Ruskaya station today in the comments section at this blog post....Rick Potvin's Virtual Circumnavigation of Antarctica to Decide if Earth is Global or Flat: Russkaya has been abandoned?... according to Felix!

I whimsically googled russkaya mystery and found this beautiful image of that station I've never seen quite like this before.

SOVIET UNION HISTORY IN ANTARCTICA
The site link above details many fascinating aspects of the Soviet Union in Antarctica. As much as I've looked into Antarctica on this blog to this point, that Soviet history site presents even more startling photos and new information gathered in one convenient location.

RUSSKAYA LOOKS PEACEFUL rather than TRECHEROUS
The general impression I've had of Russkaya to this point was that it was really hard to maintain and very trecherous. The photo above contradicts that impression. This is worth looking into further in that regard, as well as the aspect of Russkaya that has it placed in the relatively unpopulated Marie Byrdland where, inland, most of the tranmitter stations are. Russkaya also features a possible bio hazard from cold bacteria according to the comment by felix in the post linked above. I'll look into these aspects further in coming days.

Rather than virtual hitchhiking on multiple vehicles-- take ONE trip on ONE ship (or plane)

This morning, it struck me that my approach to circumnavigating Antarctica has a flaw, so far-- but it's easily corrected. I look at this map of the 1983 partial-circumnavigation of Antarctica by a US Coast Guard ship doing an inspection tour. It's one of the most complete partial circumnavigations of all the inspection tours I've seen to date.

Note the label in the bottom left hand corner-- CRUISE TRACK OF THE USCG CUTTER POLAR STAR. I didn't pay attention to that earlier. I was merely interested in ANY circumnavigation path. Now however it seems to me that paying attention to WHICH SHIP and what vehicles are used in these Inpection tours is critical to my mission of determining the actual distance and time around Antarcitca to prove it an ice rim or an island-- 60,000 miles or 15,000 miles. I looked up the USCG Polar Star and it has it's own web page and news. We see that it ended its involvement in "Deep Freeze" in 2014 and there have been no updates since then. The ship was rebuilt since 1983 of course-- and it's still in service. I wish my car could be like that.

QUESTIONS

Will Polar Star go on another inspection tour?
When?
Will is do a complete circumnavigation?
If not, will another ship?
Does CG really have to be part of DHS?

NOTEWORTHY POINTS

Inspection tours under ATS are the most hopeful way I have to do my task here. I don't think Vendee Globe is real and the latitude is too high anyway. The inspection tours ARE real.
I need to track inspection tours using a single vehicle-- whether that's a plane or ship. Multiple vehicles and multiple teams create too many tracking complications. We need to follow ONE team, in ONE vehicle-- tracking time and distance-- and we need to see a complete circumnavigation tour-- which has never been done-- but was almost done a few times.
The only other way to do this I can see at the moment is to hire a millionnaire who will finance a private ship or plane to do the circumnavigation, hopping from ice runway to ice runway and station to station as, say, a journalist or private inspection tour operator. That's far less likely than tracking existing inspection tours coming up however.

Eric Dubay's Long Haul Argument for Flat Earth applied to Antarctica

I've been reading Dubay off and on-- getting discouraged and excited off and on--- going around in circles-- during the past year. I wanted to zero in on Antarctica's perimeter because I thought it would be easier than the non-stop flight argument. It hasn't been that way. I went back to look at Dubay-- who banned me from his forum inexplicably after one post-- to review Captain Cook and his 3 journeys around the bottom of the world that took 60,000 miles. Dubay points to Cook and makes a good case-- except for the fact that its not clear to me that the 60.000 miles was one trip or 3, because Cooke make 3 trips. So 60,000/3 = 20,000 which is order of magnitide consistent with a globe, not flat earth. Debay doesn't drill down on Cooke's journey's enough for me to confirm a 60,000 mile perimeter. Nonetheless, I followed more Dubay today and found this.

This is interesting. It's not Antarctica but I found, over the past year, that the argument dealing with these commercial airliners in the southern hemisphere were interesting. I didn't end up drilling down on the case studies because I didn't think I could get into arial navigation systems and how they determine how far planes fly. In the case of Eric Dubay's Atlantian blog however, after looking deeper into his Captain Cooke arguments, I found a few graphic panels that make interesting points relevent to Antarctica. The flight path seen above makes more sense on a flat earth.

So... the key question for me is-- do flight paths look the same in Antarctica? IN other words... do flight paths in Antarctica make more sense on a flat earth than a globe? That's what occurred to me. I've been looking a flights inside Antarctica as well as AROUND the perimeter of Antarctica. I think Eric Dubay has a lot of good points-- his presentation style makes me cringe however. His dry speaking voice, for one thing, irks me. I can't take it. His blog makes many good points, but he doesn't seem to understand how to emphasize the MOST important things over the lesser things. Still-- he's like a raw data base. What they say about him is likely true. He's an accumulator and attention hog rather than an original thinker. However, he's accumulated stuff in a way that is a bit easer to search than raw google searches.

Caterpillar Corp. worth looking into for "work in the Antarctic"

I ran across this ad featuring the Dirty Jobs guy-- on cable-- who promotes Caterpiller. From previous Antarctica circumference posts, I've noted Caterpiller has strong presence in Antarctica. If A'a (Antarctica) is an infinite plain leading to other Earth Ponds, then the future of Caterpillar might be very strong indeed. Byrd was saying in the 50's that there's lot of coal and other minerals we can use and there's lots of fresh water ice there so Caterpiller is well positioned to be a machinery company that knows how to access all of that. What if the AT (A'a Treaty) is merely a "front" to fool the world into continuing to believe in the island theory-- and the sphere theory-- while behind the scenes, 80% of the personnel in A'a who are not scientists-- but workers-- are operating machinery like Cats to "move into A'a" and set up shop? I cannot think Cat, now, without thinking A'a.

DISCUSSION LINK
CATERPILLER CORP is in Antarctica --and needs workers.
(Felix, try this-- it's threaded-- and has "pop up" features that make it more useful for "hard work" which I think we're going to need).

CATERPILLAR STOCK UP 6X in 10 yrs.

DISCUSSION forum-- with threads... try this Felix... Cat stock up 6X in 10 yrs.

CATS used for filling crevasses (pot holes) on fuel depot roads.

The more I see of what's going on in Antarctica-- a possible ice rim around a stationary flat earth rather than an island continent "at the bottom of a spinning blue marble in space" [unlikely]-- the more I understand how VOLUMINOUS the traffic is down there-- and how numerous and neccessary fuel depots are. What's going on is FAR MORE than anyone who just reads regular media or even alternative media is aware of. You really have to hunt for this information on your own and when you do, you realize that Antarctica is a HUGE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT--- that it can almost be considered BLACK BUDGET since we're not hearing any financials from Congress or any world authorities. But the budget must be huuuuge... Here is another video of a CATERPILLER filling potholes in a road going to a fuel depot-- and it NOW appears there are hundreds if not thousands of fuel depots being positioned these days.

Minerals, as well as fresh water ice-- abound in possible Antarctic "Infinite-land"--

The following maps are standard island continent versions of Antarctica but they illustrate what Admiral Byrd was noted for revealing to a talk showin the 1950's - featured on one of the videos made by flat earther Mark Sargent flat earth clues - Google Search....

90 to 150 W Longitude Marie Byrdland is NOT "unclaimed"

Published on Apr 14, 2011

Claimed a territory of the United States in 1929 and 1935 by Antarctic explorers, Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd and Lincoln Ellsworth. The territory comprises of the land area in Western Antarctica that extends between 90 degrees West and 150 degrees West on the Antarctic continent

United States Antarctic Territory of Marie Byrd Land and Ellsworth Land at 90 W - 150 W

Why are all the GPS and other radar stations in West Antarctica with none in the East??

In the last post, I pointed out how the new logo of the ATS (Antarctica Treaty System) has red longitude and latitude lines around Marie Byrdland -- which has no research stations -- and green on the other side of McMurdo up about halfway then it's white.

Felix pointed out in the comments section that that the Marie Byrdland area is absolutely studded with GPS and other types of radar stations.

Now why should that be? I'm of the opinion that GPS is not a satellite system- just another type of radar. But look at the number of radar installations all over Byrdland. What's going on here? And why are there none on the other side? They say they're measuring earth tremors. But is that a cover story? Is this part of a massive security system to keep out intruders? Sophisticated burgler alarms? Motion detectors for people rather than earthquakes? source:

Mysterious new color scheme on Antarctica Treaty Secretartiet logo.

It looks like the Antarctica Treaty Secretariet has made Marie Byrd Land in East Antarctica off limits for everyone including themselves by colouring the lines of longitutde and latitude RED. The coastline between McMurdo and well into West Antarctica has GREEN lines. The half of Anatarctica above Rothera in the east south of Brazil and the area south of South Africa remains WHITE. What could it all mean?

Taking it at face value, green means go. Red means stop. White could mean neutral.

On a flat earth with an ice rim Antarctica, I've been mulling over the possibility that the actual distance between McMurdo and Rothera-- in effect-- the Marie Byrdland coast-- is where the compression mapping might take place. In other words, the distances and times are going to make sense in the green and white zones-- but the red zone is where distances will NOT make sense. I don't know what mathematics would be used to simulata lines of longitude and latitude to make that happen-- especially with airliners and ships running all over the place needing accurate information so I'm not proposing that this is the case. However, seeing the red zone causes me to reconsider that original thought. Here is my best flat earth map of Antarctica so far so the reader can compare the red and green zones above with the ice rim version.

Note that the area between Rothera and McMurdo has ONE station Russkaya that apparently no longer exists as a full station although a few references have been made to it in some reports. This stretch is, even as First Officer Felix notes, devoid of stations for the most part. The area between McMurdo around to Mawson is the green zone-- approximately where I have GREEN ARROWS above from a previous idea. From Mawson around to Rothera, is the white neurtral zone which I don't know how to interpret.

INSPECTIONS
Just one more thought on inspections. If mere sailboats can race around Antarctica at 45 to 60, then how difficult would it be for fully equipped military/scientific inspection ships to go around Antarctica for a "full and complete inspection" of all stations on the coast of Antarctica? It should not be very hard. Yet there was no inspection since the winter of 2012-2013 according to ATS reports.

LATEST ATS REPORT HAS NO PHOTOS
I find it amusing that the latest report is 260 pages with no pictures or diagrams or maps. How is that possible?

Official treaty inspection tours raise questions in my mind.

Here are some excerpts from some inspection tours I looked at today.

Here's an excerpt from an earlier inspection the in 1960s where we see "Group A" and "Group B". Why did they have to break up into 2 groups? Why not conduct one tour? It might be because the job involves too much travel and might not be possible with just one team.

Here's an inspection map with no route-- only the stations inspected. Why not post the route?

Here's a partial circumnavigation which is more along the lines of what I'm interested in. I haven't seen anything that describes what the method of selection is or how they decide on their route. If they're going almost all the way around, why not complete the trip? Because it's too far? Like 60,000 miles?

Here is how many of the reports list dates of the various station stops. There is comprehensive LIST, just a description in a paragraph. No mileages are stated. Why not? Would that give away the situation? Are the dates correct? Who knows?

This is one of the better maps. I had to cut it in two to make it fit my file. Note that it's almost a complete circumnavigation. I clearly shows the stops made. They travelled by ship. Why not conduct inspections via air? They never say. Too much refueling for the flat earth rim of 60,000 miles? Just guessing.

Earlier reports are quite direct about disarming Antarctica... the first disarmament being perhaps the destruction of the German base New Shwabenland. I haven't seen any reports of flying saucers in the Antarctic Treaty reports however.

Here's one of the only nice organized time tables I've seen. Whether the dates are correct or not is impossible to say but at least they listed them. Time and mileage are the way we'll prove earth is flat or a globe so I'm always looking for time and date and mileage stamps on reports.

Here's another example of stations with dates visited. No mileages though. Not sure how they travelled.

Here's another early 1970's version of list of stations and dates. There was no map with this but there should be maps with all these routes. Of course, they weren't thinking about proving the world is round when they made the report so I suppose it's forgivable. Still-- I would have expected more maps with miles and dates than I've seen.

Slicing up Antarctica island like pizza and flipping pieces around creates a problem.

Below, I've drawn a circle and sliced it up like a pizza. It represents the island of Antarctica. I shaded in 3 continent areas. I drew dots to represent stations. Below that, I flipped the slices around so the center is on the outside and station dots are around the perimeter of a flat earth Antarctica. I drew a rough sketch of some continental masses in the middle.

PROBLEMS

Pizza slices have curved convex edges now instead of smooth circle edges of an island. I've never seen maps or any indication that the edge goes like that.
The question marks represent NEW areas created by the flipped pizza slices that would have to exist but are not any any map and can't be accounted for
I've never seen flat earthers do this transformation let alone address these two problems.
