Then there is the story of Admiral Byrd who went there some years after the war on an unspecified mission with a fleet of military ships including a carrier. He expected to be away for 6-9 months but returned within 3 months with half of his fleet missing and third of his men missing saying he was out gunned by weapons and 'flying machines' that were vastly superior to his own and so he had no option to return home.

What? I have read a bit about Admiral Byrd including his interviews when he returned from his last trip to Antarctica.
Never have I read anything about losing half his fleet or flying machines, although flat earthers seem to think he found the edge of the dome down there. That addition sounds crazy.

You may be thinking of 2 different expeditions. Operation Highjump was the 1946 mission to the south pole post WWII that went awry. You won't find details of what really happened in mainstream history books.
20 years prior to that was his 1926 flight to the north pole. This flight was the one his diary was based on, which also discussed inner earth.

Its a non militarised zone. If soldiers are there all Treaty members must agree. But If they are in a non government organisation , like an NGO they don't.
The Antarctic Treaty provides that “Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only” (Art. I). To this end it prohibits “any measures of a military nature” but does “not prevent the use of military personnel or equipment for scientific research or for any other peaceful purpose”.
