Paul Siple was hired by Byrd to go to South Pole with him as a boy scout.

This video is a little different. We'll look at the background of Paul Siple for whom the station Siple Station is named. It's at the base of the Antarctic Peninsula.  His greatest achievement was to establish the first permanent colony at the South Pole. Note the proximity of Siple Station, McMurdo Station and the South Pole in the Globe Earth map and the Flat Earth Map below. Because Siple was so tied into the International Geophysical Year, the National Geographic Society, the Boy Scouts and Admiral Byrd, I doubt he would have had the mind to watch out for signs of flat earth.





Now note in the map below how Siple COULD have gone from Siple Station to the South Pole. And yet there is NO ROUTE established there. No mileage. Instead, we see a line from Siple Station to Russkoya and then to McMurdo... and from Siple to McMurdo-- then on to South Pole. But there is no direct line from Siple to South Pole. Hold onto that thought. 






Now consider starting at Siple (which is near Rothera in the yellow box below)... and going to South Pole. It appears, on Flat Earth, that this is not possible with out crossing a huge expanse of ocean. However, if you follow the yellow line to the left around to Russkoya, then the McMurdo then to South Pole, it makes more sense. The dotted green line from Siple/Rothera can also be followed to the South Pole- and is the alternate route in the round Earth map above. What a coincidence. 



Now note also that Byrd Station in the Spherical Earth Map above is BETWEEN Rothera/Siple and McMurdo, inland from Russkaya.  Byrd hired Siple to go with him to the South Pole-- and so it makes sense that the DOTTED GREEN LINE ABOVE on the Flat earth map, between Rothera and McMurdo/South Pole was the actual route they took. Note TOO that they didn't go from Byrd Station to the South Pole-- even though that makes sense on the Spherical Earth Map. No. Because going from Byrd Station to McMurdo FIRST makes more sense on the Flat Earth, with the Official Fake South Pole much further inland required a RESTOCKING OF SUPPLIES before heading "further out there".

  1. This Antarctic protocol is a load of nonsense - just look at all these aircraft dumped under the snow after crashes and fires... ***

    the next part, 1975-1990 mentions the rocket launching from Siple base in the early 1980s
    The goal was to measure magnetospheric wave-particle interactions, including "energetic electrons."

    This is interesting...
    Siple Station is located well out on the Antarctic Peninsula. Logistical support (i.e., transport of men and euipment) is difficult due to the long flight time from McMurdo which is the central staging area for all
    Antarctic programs.
    According to Ben Fogle of NSF, flights into Siple Station are kept at a bare minimum.....
    McMurdo is the central staging area for all Antarctic programs supported by the U.S. All sea and air shipmentsto Antarctica are sent through McMurdo

    [the last link is about planning balloon flights in Antarctica - Siple was abandoned as a possibility owing to the flight travelling over ice with recovery problems.

    Siple station closed in 1991 [or 1988/9 from the forum below]; Byrd in 1972.

    *** some cleaning up does occur..

    There's some interesting stuff at this Antarctic Memories Message Board
    http://antarcticmemories.thruhere.net/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6310.
    Each three LC-130 flights to Siple required two flights to Byrd to position fuel for the return stop.
    Seems like there were other Siple stations:
    it is good to talk to folks who actually can distinguish Siple from Siple Coast and Dome.

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.
