Can't go there unless you're one of the top dogs. Air New Zealand used to do tourist flights over Antarctica until one crashed. I don't know if they ever resumed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few of the ticket costs to Antarctica & then you can only go where they say, the Ocean Gate was a bargain in comparison, except for the unlucky few who were aboard it.

Large amounts of the Amazon rainforest are unexplored. Recently satellite imagery has started to find masses of unknown structures. They have only just found markings larger than Nazca. 8 minutes ago, Incontinentia_Buttux said: I think we know why now! 2 hours ago, Incontinentia_Buttux said: Apart from the bottom of the oceans, which are inhospitable anyway and impractical to exploit, i fail to see how the majority of the earth's surface is unexplored. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so ,if they knew there was a problem why not just re-surface,I know it would take more than 20 minutes but every increment you can gain in altitude diminishes pressure on the hull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had already lost communication with the surface vessel. My understanding of that submarine is that a lot of its navigation was dependent on comms with the surface ship.

One thing is for sure, we can all discus this till we're blue in thew face and everything that is written about the nature of their demise is just conjecture as no one is alive to tell the tale, there is one thing we can be certain of and that is we are all lucky that we weren't aboard Edited July 3, 2023 by peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
