RT documentary on Akademik Fyodorov to Russian stations

While waiting for SAI-ACE on the Akademik Tryoshnikov to report more on their current circumnavigation of Antarctica, I discovered a 1 hour Russia Today documentary on Youtube that is quite good-- reporting on the servicing of Russian Antarctica bases Molodazneya and Progress by Akademik Fyodorov. It's embedded just below. Grab some beer and chips and enjoy as I did.

It may be possible to hire the Fyodorov & crew to do a circumnavigation closer to Antarctica's shoreline to determine if it's 50-60,000 miles, 15,000 miles or-- someone has suggested 25,000 miles, consistent with a 12,500 diameter for flat earth rather than 25,000 miles. Their boat is an icebreaker and could potentially visit many stations. With their experience and good spirits, I'm sure they would cooperate in a flat earth investigation using distance.

I've been contacted by a documentary producer from Australia who reads this blog. He wondered if we shouldn't do a real circumnavigation but disguise it as tourism. I don't think that's feasible. I think that for me personally, I would have to go headlong and overt into this if I were to join a physical circumnavigation attempt.

Here's a little part of the Potvin-Gleason map that shows PROGRESS station and Molodeznaya station that the Fyodorov serviced as covered in the documentary below.
