why cant i sail to the coast in the summer season (which can be done) and explore inland? do you really think i dont know what the coast line looks like? im pretty sure you are basing your idea of the coast on a few pictures of glacial walls, not all of the coast is like that, there is even exposed rock in summer

https://www.theweather.com/williams-field.htm as someone from the north of England, i could go out in a tshirt in that weather lol, with the right equipment it would be quite easy to camp in those temperatures, i could get pretty far pretty comfortably on cross country skis, a few weeks ago it was colder than that where i currently am, hell it may have even been colder than that in Texas

its not hard, its simply complicated, they are not the same thing, it would be very easy if you have the right equipment the problem is it requires permission which you are not going to get

I left the door open in my post for it to be possible at certain times. My point is no one is going to stop you if you started sailing down there today. if you did make it, youre not gonna find jack shit but ice rocks, and maybe some wildlife.

so why do i need permission and why will that not be granted?

Because Antarctica is internationally recognized as a scientific neutral zone. you cant operate below 60 degrees south latitude for any reason other than state sponsored scientific research, according to the the Antarctic Treaty System (with the exception of King George Island) They set it up this way, because world war 3 could have started over oil and gold rights in a desolate shithole on the bottom of the world. Not becuase of ancient alien pyramids and shit.

Why it wont be granted to you? Are you accredited scientist with a resume as good or better than the thousands of other scientist that want to get down there and research? If not, are you worth tens of millions of dollars and willing to blow most if not all of it hiring people that are qualified to operate inland, and setup a scientifically effective paleontology dig? If no to both of these, are you retarded enough to try to boat yourself down there, and try to take a stoll to the pyramids? and no going inland is not anything like the current weather at MacMurdo. How do you not see the absurdity of your position dude. Put down the joint youve gone to far.
