Officially everything is of a "scientific nature" but I doubt this is the actual truth. Hollywood seems to have access to lots of classified information when they make their movies or just a vivid imagination.... I am not saying everything in these movies is true but certainly they know more than you and me.

Another thing that strikes me odd is the general lack of interest in the poles other than the occasional, expensive cruise to the antartic perimeter. If you are american you gotta go through all that red tape. Why are people being so discouraged from going there? What are they trying to hide? Why not any satellite photos? I have tried zooming in on the perimeter of the continent but everything is from high altitude.

The word you are all looking for for is "Vostok".
