Why We Never Fly Over the South Pole

Introduction

Have you ever noticed that no commercial airline flies directly over the South Pole? Despite technological advances and long-range aircraft, there are zero direct over-pole flights between continents like Australia and South America or South Africa.

Why?
Airlines blame “practical reasons.” Flat Earth researchers claim: there's something to hide.

The Official Explanation

Mainstream sources say flights don’t cross the South Pole due to:

• Lack of emergency landing sites

• Extreme cold affecting aircraft systems

• Sparse satellite communication over polar regions

• Low demand for those routes

But here’s the catch: planes regularly fly over the North Pole without issue. So why is the South so restricted?

Flat Earth Theory: It’s Not a Pole—It’s a Perimeter

According to the Flat Earth model, Antarctica isn’t a continent at the bottom of a globe—it’s a giant ice ring surrounding the world. The “South Pole” as we know it doesn’t exist.

This would explain:

• Why flight paths are curved and avoid “over-pole” shortcuts

• Why flight times between southern continents are unusually long

• Why you can’t buy a direct flight over the South Pole—they’re not allowed to go there

Flight Tracking Oddities

Several documented cases exist where emergency landings or detours occurred in completely illogical locations—unless viewed on a flat Earth map.

Examples:

• A flight from Chile to New Zealand lands in the U.S. for emergencies

• Johannesburg to Sydney flights route far north instead of taking a polar shortcut

These paths make no sense on a globe—but line up on Flat Earth projections.

Restricted Airspace and the Antarctic Treaty

Commercial planes are banned from flying over most of Antarctica. The Antarctic Treaty reinforces this—restricting not only exploration but also routine flights.

Flat Earth theorists believe this treaty exists to guard the truth—that Earth ends at the Antarctic boundary.

Conclusion

The fact that we never fly over the South Pole isn't just an aviation policy—it’s a geographic red flag.

Are we being kept away from something?
Is the South Pole just a myth to prop up the globe?

The sky isn’t the limit. The truth might lie just beyond the ice.
