Re Byrd:

That’s fascinating. Kerry visited Antarctica, McMurdo station around 2016:

Secretary of State John Kerry is scheduled later this week to visit McMurdo and Amundsen-Scott South Pole stations in Antarctica, where he’ll meet with researchers funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Kerry is set to become the first secretary of state, and the most senior U.S. government official, to travel to Antarctica, where the U.S. has maintained a scientific presence since the late 1950s.

The secretary’s Antarctic visit is scheduled to take place Nov. 10-12 as part of a global tour.

NSF manages the U.S. Antarctic Program, through which it makes awards to researchers across the nation and provides the logistical infrastructure to support U.S. scientific research on the southernmost continent.

“We are honored that Secretary Kerry will visit NSF’s facilities in Antarctica, a vast and globally important region,” NSF Director France A. Córdova said. “He will meet with researchers whose work forges new frontiers in science.”

Kerry’s Antarctic itinerary includes a visit to NSF’s facilities in Christchurch, New Zealand, the gateway city to Antarctica.

While in Antarctica, Kerry will visit McMurdo Station, NSF’s logistics hub and the largest of the three U.S. Antarctic Program stations. There, he’ll meet with scientists studying a wide range of subjects, from geophysics and glaciology to astrophysics and biology as well as the effects of climate change. Two of NSF’s Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites are located in Antarctica, including one near McMurdo Station in the McMurdo Dry valleys.

The secretary will then visit Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, located at the earth’s southern axis atop the 9,300-foot high, ice-covered Antarctic plateau. Amundsen-Scott is the site of long-term atmospheric monitoring and large-scale, cutting-edge astrophysics and particle physics experiments.

I had a Grade school teacher who was Admiral Byrd's niece. She said he went to the poles, but never said anything else about him.

Antarctica is loaded with Nazis and ET’s not a good topic here since no one believes it. But its true. There is a ship partially buried there that has been there for centuries,its still functioning. The nazis made friends with the ETs in the 40’s they got lots of tech from them.The ET’s who have a base there and several portals to outer space.

The first ten times I read or listened to all this over the last 20-30 years it did not seem too relevant. Seemed impossible,after that,not so much.
