The Antarctic Settlement Project: Settle a greening Antarctica

Would there be a currency? Hospitals, libraries, infrastructure?

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: People are getting stupid, thats what this is all about!! stupid people! and how they are bringing down the human race!

>There would be NO jail

iceland had no jail for its entire history spanning a 1000nd years?(chk on this)

iceland had no jail, until just the last decade

oooh! I'm getting really excited now :-)

i'll pack plenty of sandwiches for the trip

I'll admit, I like the idea. The only area that it could be done is the unclaimed Mary Bird land and a defunct claim made by Nazi Germany, New Swabia.

(apparently there's an abandoned base left there from 1972... I call it)

So those are the options. We should get "The Venus Project" in on this

How old are you fucking hell? 12? Fuck off from this thread. Go away, you are not welcomed.

Hey OP,

I must say, I like the way you think.
Regardless of the practical application of your plan, you are a free thinker with an open mind. That is worth more than 1000 troll posts in this thread.

I too came to the conclusion that Atlantis is in Antarctica, a while ago.
My main "proof" for that theory is that many of the Nazis fled to Argentina after ww2. Coincidentally, that is where the most of the Vril saucers were spotted. And it is very close to Antarctica. Anyhow...

Although I can't join your endeavour, because I am becoming father very very soon, I am interested in it. If you need a contact person in the "old world" for any reason, count me in. Will you have computers in your colony? Because a livestream would be awesome.

Don't let em get to you.
People are so used to bullshit on GLP, they dismiss anything in the first page.

A Resounding .............. YES! When do we leave?

Just curious, but how do we get there in the first place?

would you have to have survivalist skills to go,
what for instance if someone reasonably healthy wanted to contribute,
what would you say are the requirements,

After a tragic year i've nothing keeping me here in this modern civilised prison called home, and why should i work all my life to make someone else wealthy.

Regards, Rob..

Karma, pin and 5 stars coming your way.

I am hoping you will provide clarification on psychological harm... If people go and colonize in Antarctica, children will result... so for my example, would it be considered psychological harm to set rules for a child? Say they want to do something that we fear will bring harm to them. As a parent, we explain why they should not do it and do not allow them to harm themselves... they throw a fit, etc. Is that psych. harm?

Okay.. I agree that not everyone should be allowed to reproduce. What is assessed and who develops the standards/testing, etc?

I agree that no harm should come to any person, but I would still like clarification on the psych. harm you mentioned before. Is making another sad/upset (as in my example above, a child throwing a fit because they want to do something that the parent will not allow because it would hurt them) considered psych. harm?

You can't just ferry people to a remote desolate area without supplies first.
Probably not many trees to build cabins with and tents are cool when you're camping in the summer, but I don't think they provide much when it comes to permanent shelter from the cold. Heat is going to be a big issue... What sort of materials should be ferried over? Clay is abundant, cheap, malleable and would be good insulation against the cold, retaining interior heat.
What sort of power generators will we be using?

Food might be an issue as well although I'm sure we could survive on penguins, at least until we can build a bio-dome agricultural building.

I have a fifteen year old daughter, so I cannot come for the next three years, but what a great idea and I wish OP and everybody all the best!

I will keep following this, and like the other poster said; if you need someone in the old world, I'll be here.

If I was free today I would say YES, I love cold better then warm, rh- to boot hehe

great thinking OP

That's fine. All I am asking is for you to explain a bit more what you consider to be "psychologically hurting another" as it seems to have a large grey area to me. Not to mention, it will also be important for people to know what is expected of them if they go. Is it the person's intent that will define it?
