Have you all heard of Andrea Barns and her amazing story of trying to cross Antarctica, looking for the edge, solo at the ripe old age of just 16? Read on;
I found this and was amazed! You may know about this but it was new to me @ 60 years old!!
Start by looking at this Y/T vid; "In search of the edge of the flat Earth (1990) all parts. Here's the link;  http://rickpotvinflatearth.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/how-did-i-miss-this-incredible-tale-of.html :  Watch it all, her story is at the beginning and again at 21:26. Enjoy!
Andrea Barns (from Canada, Ontario) who I believe, was part of the zetetic flat world society, 1st attempted to find the edge of Antarctica at sixteen years old, (solo, on borrowed ski's and with inadequate clothing), around 1913. She failed due to bad weather. She tried again in 1938 with a bigger group, again bad weather halted the expedition. Her final attempt at the age of "63" was on December 3rd 1961, again solo but this time on a motorised skidoo, contact was lost on Christmas day, She was never heard of again! But recently her skidoo was found with no fuel, she has never been found. But she left a note and a camera, the note said and I quote; "I have been there, the debate finally comes to an end", end quote!! As for the camera, it is told that it had "inadvertently" been opened and the film was destroyed........how convenient!!! Why has this been held from our history books .......She was a fkin hero! Suppression!
But we do need a new expedition to cross Antarctica, on mass, with total transparency!! What say you?

Stories of the past. Just as much bullcrap ,potential as most other's. I am not a global Earther but even I don't believe that story.

Well, I suppose you wouldn't be scetomatic otherwise! You don't have to believe, the truth is the truth whether you believe it or not! She existed, so she is factual, try and research the 1948 expedition!

She  may well have existed. I won't argue that point. However I will keep a very sceptical mind about  her supposed exploits.
