MH370 remotely diverted to Antarctica
aviation conspiracyEvidence status
Unsupported speculation
An attributed proposal is not evidence of an Antarctic aircraft location; no authenticated wreck discovery accompanies it.
Editorial assessment of this proposition; not a numeric confidence score.
Claim or proposition being examined
Norman Davies proposed that remotely hijacked MH370 might have ended beneath Antarctic snow.
Limitations
Reported in connection with Davies’s Beneath Another Sky; no conclusion about the actual disappearance is implied.
Catalog review date reported: 2026-10-28. This is inherited catalog metadata, not a new verification of the linked source.
Figure from a 2018 MH370 drift study: numbered points are hypothetical debris origins along the seventh arc, over sea-surface temperatures for 8 March and 8 June 2014. A published Indian Ocean modeling comparison—not a confirmed crash site, flight-track observation, or evidence of remote diversion to Antarctica.

One historical study, not current search guidance or a consensus determination. Both panels, dates, coordinates, numbered origins and Celsius scale are retained. The seventh arc is not itself a flight path. Figure 5 includes third-party source imagery and is deliberately excluded.
