North South circumnavigation by PanAm in 1977

Jeranism pointed me to a recent N/S circumnavigation so I started thinking along those lines and found this wonderful little film.

Let's Party... in Antarctica!

I'm Going Back to Antarctica

I've been circumnavigating the earth, both globe and flat, for the past several posts by air and water. I think it's time to go back to Antarctica. Here's a nice tour of Palmer Station.

Circumnavigating Earth above 60 deg S latitude by water-- a 4 minute review.

Another excellent GeoShifter review of 20th C. circumnavigations listed on Wikipedia applied to both the globe and the flat earth map for a very quick an interesting overview. These are not quite the Antarctica level circumnavigations I need to verify a 60,000 mile flat earth rim vs. a 15,000 mile spherical perimeter to an Antarctic island-- but they're close. Unfortunately they're all well north of 60 deg. South Latitude for most of the journey-- many not even going south of the equator. The Vendee yaught races are supposed to be close to the 60S latitude line but there are problems in verifying anything related to those as well. For now, consider the following journeys around the world by water.

Aerial circumnavigations are always mostly north of the equator, not on it.

Geoshifter (with an Austrian accent like Arnold Schwarzenegger) has produced a number of flat earth videos, one of which was pointed out to me by Xx x who lives in Australia and who lives near Robert Williams who sponsors the Antarctic Cup race. See the index below for more on that. An interesting review of aerial circumnavigations was created by Geoshifter from Wikipedia circumnavigation-by-air information placing those circumnavigations on a flat earth map. Well done! Take a look. What most stands out in my mind is Geoshifter's point that none of the trips take place OVER the equator, but rather well north of it on established routes.
