Antartica
Here is the Antarctic Treaty for reference: https://www.gc.noaa.gov/documents/1959-Antarctic-treaty.pdf “The Antarctic Treaty area” referred to in the treaty is defined as “the area south of 60 degrees lattitude”. This is, effectively, the vast majority of the land, outside areas designated for tourism. Here is the link to the US Department of State Handbook of the Antarctic Treaty system: https://2009-2017.state.gov/e/oes/rls/rpts/ant/index.htm Tourism and other non-governmental activities: “The environmental protocol designates Antarctica as a giant natural reserve…”. Like in a military base, all activities and pathways in Antarctica must be approved. This in itself is remarkable and unique (with the exception of North Korea, probably). No motorised vehicles are allowed in order not to disturb wildlife: “Do not use aircraft, vessels, small boats, or other means of transport in ways that disturb wildlife, either at sea or on land.” Antarctica stretches across thousands of miles, which are virtually impossible to explore without a means of transport. And permits are required on top of that: To explore or traverse Antarctica, you not only need a permit, which entails a close examination of your purpose, parties, credentials, backing, etc., you must also submit a (very expensive) environmental impact statement and much more. Also, you’re required to avoid substantial amounts of land. This renders Antarctica explorations virtually impossible for anyone outside “official” sources. If you want to travel to Antarctica, you must complete the following form (DS-4131 “Advance Notification Form – Tourist and Other Non-Governmental Activities in the Antarctic Treaty Area“): https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds4131.PDF Once you submit the form, “The Department of State, in consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), will then determine whether the expedition is subject to U.S. jurisdiction. If we determine that the expedition falls under U.S. jurisdiction, we will provide information on how to proceed with the EPA and NSF documentation processes, which are mandatory under U.S. law.” https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/country/antarctica.html All this combined makes it virtually impossible to travel beyond the areas allocated to touristic routes, the vast territory south of 60 degrees lattitude. Also notable are the Antarctic Specially Protected Areas, which amount to 1,373 sqm and whose access is strictly forbidden under any conditions. -

Is Earth round or flat❓
You have already stated that you like facts. So do I. Here are a few facts: Here is the Antarctic Treaty for reference: https://www.gc.noaa.gov/documents/1959-Antarctic-treaty.pdf “The Antarctic Treaty area” referred to in the treaty is defined as “the area south of 60 degrees lattitude”.

Pattaya Police Crack Down on Beach Prostitution, Arrest 20 Foreign Women
There's also been quite an influx of Africans in Patong and some trawl the main walking street (Bangla) in full view of the local freelancers and police. Most are the typical big mommas but I've met two very attractive and slim girls off TF - a Ugandan (asked B3,000) and a Kenyan (asked B4,000) who became my regular - they are "built" differently to Asian women!
