So my last Christmas of World War II was spent on the Antarctic continent in 1945, fighting the same Nazis that I had fought against every Christmas since 1940. What was worse was the fact that the expedition was never given any recognition, nor the survivors any credit. Instead, the British survivors were de-mobbed from the forces, whilst the scientist and his report would soon disappear, the mission never to be known about except by the select few.

I swear I read that some politicians and even the Pope had recently traveled to Antarctica. If that's true (is it?) what were they doing there and is this related?
Yes, it is true.
Maybe this is a first step to finally admitting to something more.
The pope hasn't visited Antarctica. Please post actual evidence that I'm wrong.

You are right but he represented the Pope. The Pope would draw way too much attention I would guess. Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill is basically the Russian Pope.
Read your own link. This guy doesn't represent the Pope in any way at all. Not even the same church, for God's sake.
Harte
You can't know that. You have no idea what agreements they may have. It remains a possibility for sure.
If it can't be known, then why did you say it was so?

I gave an opinion based on the facts. It can't be known for sure either way unless someone that knows comes forward.

It's fine to voice an opinion.
But you didn't.
Also, you don't have any facts to base that on.

I disagree yet again with you.

I did a bit of research on this a while back. Byrd did indeed fly over the North Pole in 1926 in a Fokker Tri Motor aircraft but there was later some controversy over whether he technically did. That flight is fairly well documented but I gather that the so called secret diary claims that he flew over the North Pole again in 1947 and that he then flew into the hollow earth and met another race of beings and all that mallarkey.
The account in the diary is remarkably similar to a scene in the 1937 film Lost Horizon (starring Ronald Coleman), in fact this bit is obviously plagiarised and the whole thing sounds like something out of a very bad film/book.
There seems to be a lot of confusion between the Arctic and the Antarctic.
It seemed to me that there was no evidence about the 1947 north Pole adventure but I wonder if any more knowledgeable members here on ATS can add anything to the authenticity of this fabled diary?

Didn't Admiral Byrd speak of a lush almost tropical state at the center?
