- Flight to Antarctica
A participant’s flight recording is relevant to claims about permitted access; it is not a claim that every visitor may fly anywhere.

- This Is Why You Can’t Go To Antarctica
The explainer title concerns Antarctic access. Compare the blanket-ban claim with primary access rules; the title alone is not evidence of a universal ban.
- Insta360 timelapse of flight from Punta Arenas to Union Glacier
Modern expedition flight footage contrasts with historic ship-based exploration and the blanket no-fly claim. The records concern different dates and routes, not identical journeys.
- The Antarctic Treaty expires in 2048
Both concern how Antarctic governance is represented. Consult the actual Treaty rather than infer a blanket ban or automatic expiry.

Official station views provide access context alongside a blanket no-fly allegation; they do not establish unrestricted visitor rights.
