Would you just fall of the edge? Or is there more land behind Antartica? Explain.

Hard to imagine that in the age of long-range jets that no one has found out.
Do you have a citation for this sweeping generalisation?

Yes, the Antarctic Treaty is ridiculous.

You are aware you can actually go to Antarctica, right?

Is there any evidence of someone or something actually preventing people from going to Antarctica? (Apart from distance and temperature.)

What does the Antarctic Treaty have to do with long range jets? ???

How many jets have flown blindly into the Southern icy tundras?

...and how many have safely landed at the south pole when delivering supplies to the many hundreds of people who live there all year round.  You can "Skype" chat with some of them.

Navigating to a certain coordinate definitely does not sound like flying blindly into the Southern Tundras to me.

So you are saying that it's possible to go there?

Wouldn't a trip from South America to Australia be much easier if they just flew over top of Antartica and came out on the other side?

It comes pretty close but the direct great circle route does not pass over Antarctica.

The problem is that it is expensive.

I don't know where TomInAustin lives – but if it is Austin in the United States (there seem to be at least two, but no matter), it is relatively far from there.

Going to far away places is always expensive. Going to far away places that have no economic interest (being, say, naturally unsuitable for human habitation) is even more expensive.

behind Antarctica is space but I don't know what would happen if you walked off

There is no such thing as "behind Antarctica".  It is a continent that can be approached from any direction at any time.

You have an interesting definition of "stumping" someone. We're very clear about our scope. We know that the known Earth is flat. We know very little about what lies beyond the known Earth.
