Antarctic Treaty (Flat Earth Society Forum thread)
What it claims
This 2018 TFES forum thread opens with a question from a student member.The question is whether the Antarctic Treaty really blocks Antarctic exploration.The student writes that they saw the claim in a Shane Dawson conspiracy video.Other members reply that Antarctica is in fact reachable, through tourism or Qantas flights.Some members post links to UFO-sighting articles, Operation Highjump, and the New Swabia wiki page.Further down the thread, a claim appears: 'what tourists see in Antarctica is fake — the real Antarctica is the ice wall.'
How the post is built

Even after a reply says Antarctica is reachable by tourism, the thread answers back that this is a trick showing a fake Antarctica.
