The Great Antarctica Mystery: A Question of Our Reality

Published on by Kevin Rahmad Shaputra

Since childhood, my curiosity has been boundless. One of my earliest gifts was an atlas, a book filled with maps of the world. But something always puzzled me—why does Antarctica appear so massive in every map? In flat map projections, Antarctica seems to wrap around the entire world, appearing larger than any other landmass. This sparked an even bigger question in my mind: Is the Earth really round, or have we been misled?

The Unnatural Size of Antarctica on Maps

One of the most glaring inconsistencies in maps is the depiction of Antarctica. It always appears disproportionately large, no matter the projection. The official explanation is that this is due to distortions in the Mercator projection, but why is it that Antarctica always remains dominant in flat maps? Could it be that it truly is larger than we have been led to believe?

The Impenetrable Antarctica

Unlike other continents, Antarctica is shrouded in secrecy. No one can freely explore it due to strict international treaties. Despite humanity’s advancements in technology, travel, and space exploration, no one has ever crossed Antarctica in its entirety. If Earth were truly round, why hasn’t anyone simply gone straight through and emerged on the other side?

The Space Deception and the Limits of Exploration

From an early age, I have been fascinated by technology and understand how easily images can be manipulated. The entire concept of space travel seems questionable—why is it that humans can supposedly reach the Moon but cannot fully explore Antarctica? The same institutions that promote space travel are the ones that enforce the idea of a round Earth. If space missions are real, shouldn’t Antarctica be a simple task to conquer?

Why Doesn’t Radar Work in Antarctica?

One of the strangest anomalies is that military radars fail in Antarctica. If space is a vacuum and yet radio signals function there, why does Antarctica, which exists within the same physical world as the rest of us, interfere with such technology? Could there be something about the nature of Antarctica that disrupts our understanding of physics itself?

What Lies Beyond Antarctica?

If Antarctica is not what we think, then what lies beyond it? Is it merely an endless frozen wasteland, or is it something more? Some believe that beyond Antarctica lies an unexplored realm, one that has been deliberately kept hidden from the public. What if the world as we know it is only a fraction of what actually exists?

A Reality Worth Questioning

The more I ponder these mysteries, the less I trust conventional explanations. If history has taught us anything, it is that those in power often control knowledge. What if the truth about Antarctica is one of the greatest secrets ever kept? What if the shape of our world is not what we have been told?

I do not claim to have the answers, but I do believe in questioning everything.
