Summary

This sheet collects what circulates about the ice wall with no proof behind it. The best-known item is a quote attributed to Admiral Richard E. Byrd: "I'd like to see that land beyond the Pole. That area beyond the Pole is the center of the great unknown." Some sites date it to his interview in the Chilean newspaper El Mercurio on 5 March 1947, but none of them gives a primary source, and the quote spreads mostly through blogs and social networks. Flat-Earthers also read Byrd's words about an area "on the other side of the south pole from Little America" as proof of land beyond Antarctica; fact-checkers point out that he never described an ice wall and that no explorer of the interior has reported seeing one. Another widespread story has Byrd flying into the Hollow Earth, yet the Ohio State University polar archives, which hold his papers, have found no trace of such a flight.

Newer testimonies come from TikTok. The man behind one account says he slipped through a breach in the ice wall and reached Torenza, a futuristic city in Antarctica. Another video, from February 2024, describes a frozen wall that no one may cross or fly over, hiding a world where the people who control us supposedly live. Fact-checkers have found no evidence for either account. These stories are recorded here as rumours to be examined, not as facts.
