So what else is visible that's even farther away? If it works for Chicago, then it should work for other areas too.
Mmmhmm plenty of islands in the Mediterranean we can see but we shouldn't (one over a hundred miles distant), and off the coasts of Scotland and Ireland small far-away islands are observable on clear days that also should not be.
So why can't we see the mighty ice wall? We should be able to since there wouldn't be any obstructions in most coastal locations. Seems like the top of South America or Africa would be ideal spots to see the ice wall. Where are all the pictures of the ice wall?
All I can speak to is the obvious physical anomaly, which are observable and results are repeatable easily by others. I've seen the Chicago bit with my own eyes from the beach, can't speak to the other islands personally or some retaining ice wall, but I believe the measurements are sound and there's a reason banned personal exploration of Antarctica is the ONLY international agreement with any teeth.
