If youre talking about going off the tourist route, yea obviously thats not going to happen. If you asked anyone with authority or the ability to get you there they would tell you no you cant go by yourself, because youll fucking die, not because of a conspiracy to hide the truth about ancient civilazation. It would cost tens of millions to charter and crew an expedition to get you down there and on the shore safely, if you had those kinds of resources, it would be pretty easy to partner with a university and pay for an expedition to wherever you want in Antarctica. Trips like that are done regularly. But if you had million of dollars, youd have more sense and a better target than to spend those millions walking to a frozen mountain that looks kinda like a pyramid from space, to dig around aimlessly for a month, before the weather turns deadly. Youre not going to be able to get down there and on shore by yourself, with or without permission. Imagine the logistics of it, and how absurd it would be for you to even attempt. No one would stop you if you just started sailing south from Sri Lanka in a sail boat. What would stop you is death by hypothermia, likely before you even got on shore. Go look at pics of the shorline of Antarctica ffs bro, you wouldnt need the coast guard to stop you, reality would take care of that. You aint going, no one would stop you if you tried, but you certainly wouldnt be making it back with ancient relics even if you some how pulled of getting to shore with your shovel and got out before you get hit by -75 degree hurricane.
