Antarctic Ice Wall
Also called: ice shelf · antarctic treaty
The ice cliffs ringing the Antarctic coast, and the international treaty that manages them.In this narrative it is the wall encircling the flat disc of Earth, a device hiding what lies beyond it.
Established facts
Antarctica is the southernmost continent on Earth.About 98% of the continent is covered by ice with an average thickness of 1.9 km.Huge ice cliffs extending out over the ocean, such as the Ross Ice Shelf, line the Antarctic coast.An expedition led by James Clark Ross first recorded what is now the Ross Ice Shelf in 1841.In 1959, twelve countries signed the Antarctic Treaty, designating Antarctica a site for peaceful scientific research.The 1959 treaty bans military activity, and the 1991 Madrid Protocol bans resource extraction.Tourists still visit Antarctica today by cruise ship or by air.
A dome covers a disc; the sun and moon circle inside it. The edge is an ice wall.
In this narrativeA 150-foot ice wall
In this narrative the Antarctic coast has a 150-foot-high ice wall1.This wall rings the edge of the 'known Earth' that sunlight reaches1.Lord Ross's expedition records are cited as the basis for 'discovering' this ice wall1.A real Antarctic geology paper's statistical table of coastline types is also cited1.That table is data from an actual academic source1.Beyond the wall is declared unknown territory that humans cannot reach1.
In this narrativeWhat the treaty blocks
A forum user asks about hearing in a YouTube video that 'the Antarctic Treaty blocks exploration.'1 Another member answers that tourists can reach the real Antarctica by cruise or scheduled flight1.But a rebuttal soon follows that 'the Antarctica tourists see is fake.'1 Operation Highjump and a Nazi base theory called 'New Swabia' also come up1.This picture reads the treaty as a device blocking information about the ice wall.It counters that the very fact tourist routes exist is one more layer of cover.
In this narrativeThe edge of the firmament
In this narrative the ice wall is where the dome of the firmament touches the ground.It is the dome's edge and the rim of the flat-disc Earth.The Antarctic Treaty, Operation Paperclip, and the moon-landing hoax theory are all tied together by this single wall1.No one testifies to what lies beyond the wall.So the ice wall becomes both the edge of the map and the edge of knowledge.
Connected concepts
- Firmament →The ice wall is where the dome touches the ground.Firmament theory hardens here into a wall on the map.
- North Pole →If the North Pole is the disc's center, the ice wall is its rim.Center and edge form a pair.
- NASA →The moon-landing hoax theory is offered alongside the reason for keeping the Antarctic Treaty.The wall story crosses over into the story of space photographs.
- Flat Earth →The flat disc of Earth is only complete with the ice wall.This one wall is the final piece of flat-Earth theory.
