Antarctica has strict biosecurity rules: no drones, mandatory foot-washing, and movement restrictions to protect wildlife from outside pathogens.

There's all these conspiracy theories about beyond the ice wall in Antarctica, there's supposedly the end of the world or something. Yeah, like a bunch of countries don't let you go to certain parts of Antarctica because it's hard.
There's a lot of rules. No one knows about this. You cannot fly drones. You cannot kneel. You have to wash your feet every time you get into the boat and out of the boat, like extensively, to make sure that there's no germ contamination because the local population there of animals are not exposed to a lot of the germs we have here. And also Antarctica is the driest place in the world. It's not ice. It's a desert that's Eist. It is the highest continent in the world. It's all mountains, and I guarantee you there is no ice wall in Antarctica. There is just ice and more ice and more ice.
