Byrd's "teams" covered different shores of Antarctica?


I don't know what to make of this. I'll dig into it deeper later. I think what we're looking at here is a map of how Byrd's teams covered different parts of Antarctica. I'll post the source later-- I'm too tired to figure this out today. First of all-- I didn't know there were Byrd "teams". I certainly didn't know they were covereing different parts of Antarctica. And looky here-- they ALMOST circumnavigated the island again... like Amundsen's "almost" circumnavigation. It seems that the ONLY things to circumnavigate Antarctica are the now NUMEROUS balloons. (See index under balloons).

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.
