Go on google maps to Rothschild island then scroll down a bit and if you're zoomed in enough you'll see massive swathes of Antarctica edited out. What are they hiding?

These are the most obvious, and no matter how desperate you are to explain it away, there's no way you can:

As for the rest, if you look closely basically the whole thing is edited. You can try to claim it's all overlaid or some other such nonsense, but that sounds like an extremely weak excuse to me.

You're obsessing. I wasn't "desperate to explain it away", I was guessing at a likely explanation.

There are people who know exactly why the map appears that way. Contact the map people at google and ask them what's going on. Then make a new post with their answer, or whatever you find when you fully research it.

fair dinkum bro. the maps only ever appear like that when they are hiding military installations. there are several such places in the world, although they only seem to edit or blur out important bases. plenty of other military bases are not blurred out. and you want me to contact the fat leftist fuck who works on google earth's customer service team? yeah i'm sure that will provide some elucidation lol

That's probably the or one place to start. I was thinking you would end up talking to real people who do the actual work. Or you'd talk to other satellite people.

As I said. Those are the people you want to end up talking to. Then you will know, and once you post the answer to the riddle, we'll know too.

i'm sure they'll be very forthcoming

Probably not the first few levels you go through. But their responses can give you clues to your next steps.

Why are there no satellite images of Antarctica?

Because of the location of Antarctica and because the rest of the year there isn't enough sunlight at the poles for the satellites to see the land, images can only be taken from December through March, the summer season.Sep 7, 2018

Hmmm. There have been several summers since the satellites have been in place.

Why do we not fly over Antarctica?

The polar regions have special navigation concerns in the form of the magnetic fields which permeate them. These can make it difficult for planes to navigate because the polar areas interfere with magnetic navigational tools.

Maybe.

They claim to have 'some' images.
