If you blow up the RadarSat image of the area I have identified as the south
polar opening, you can see fog coming up out of the opening on the right side of
the dark area. Now why would fog be coming up out of this area if it's not the
opening? I think this fog may be our first clue that this is the area we have
been looking for.
Also, notice that towards the top left is an area where there is a lot of
icebergs that regularly break off the Antarctic ice and that there is a definite
flow of ice from this dark circular area located at what I estimate to be 84.4*
S Latitude, 39* E Longitude. Looking at the edges of this dark area of low radar
reflectivity I see a definite depression. On the sides you can see clearly the
surface details which taper off in in clarity towards the dark area caused by
the sloping angle as you enter the depression.
I think we all need to take another close look at this RadarSat image. We need
to consider the fog coming out of it, the tapering off of the reflectivity with
change of slope, and the flow of ice from this direction." (Rod M. Cluff
The Antartic Wind Pattern Map shows that the Antartic wind patterns
originate in an area off towards the Queen Maud's Land/Africa side of Antartica,
(on the map, this is to the right of the Pole).
Since the winds are really a matter of the warmer air emanating from within,
this gives us an indication of the location of the orifice.
This area is to the right of where the Radarsat Map seems to indicate the
opening. Since the geographers are mapping an inward slope on a flat-map surface,
however, some shuffling must occur. Brinsley Le Pour Trench mentions that the
Russian base of Vostok is on the edge of the " Area of Inaccessibility
" (understatement!) of Antartica, so the opening must be towards the Pole from Vostok.
Perhaps if we were to drag the area where the wind patterns originate to a point
a bit closer to Vostok and the Pole, we would then have correspondence between
the point where the Radarsat map indicates the opening, and the area where the Antarctic Wind Pattern Map
shows the origin of the wind patterns.
