You have no points.

The link in your article...

Your hyperlink is broken...but you knew that, didn't you. No verification for source.
(the next sentence, which you left off)...
Flights from New Zealand to South Africa would fly over Antarctica but no airline currently flies that route.

Imagine that. You have to ask yourself...why don't/wouldn't they?

Oh, wait! Here it is again...

It must be one of those "‘everyone knows’ things, like that apples float in water because they're less dense than the water, unlike a rock, which might have served Newton better.
