The impenetrable Antarctic Ice Wall (Ross Ice Shelf) flat Earth fallacy has collapsed...
Two intrepid explorers (Colin O'Brady & Capt Lou Rudd) are the first to successfully traverse solo on foot across Antarctica
(CNN) - American endurance athlete Colin O'Brady became the first person to cross Antarctica solo without help after 54 days traversing the barren, frigid continent, he said in an Instagram post

UPDATE 12/12/2018: Colin arrived to the South Pole on December 12, 2018 (Day 40), a major milestone on The Impossible First expedition. He’s just passing through, making a short stop to take some photos, and then he’ll be one his way out. Colin’s got 360 miles more to go to reach his final destination, the Leverett Glacier on the Ross Ice Shelf, and arrive at the opposite coast of Antarctica. Onward!
(BBC) - Capt Lou Rudd is first Briton to cross Antarctic unaided
A British Army officer has become the first Briton in history to trek unaided across Antarctica. Capt Lou Rudd, 49, finished the solo 921-mile (1,482km) journey on Friday after 56 days.
He is the second person ever to make the journey, after American Colin O'Brady completed the trek two days earlier on 26 December.

Here is their route...
Eric Dubay (Eric Michaels) and hundreds of other flat Earth proponents constantly claim that the continent of Antarctica is impenetrable, and that the UN Antarctic Treaty of 1961 forbids anyone from going there.
But that has always been false:
The treaty provides that Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only. It specifically prohibits "any measures of a military nature, such as the establishment of military bases and fortifications, the carrying out of military maneuvers, as well as the testing of any type of weapons."
Even so, flat Earthers kept up the drum beat (we can't go there) while adding layers of fictional rubbish for years.
But now Colin O'Brady & Capt Lou Rudd completed the trek to the South Pole and Leverett Glacier on the Ross Ice Shelf. They have traversed and crossed the very ice shelf that flat Earth delusionists claim is not possible.
So one again it has been shown that flat Earth conspiracy folks have it all wrong.
