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?

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.
