So i wanted to make a “Lenin walks around the world” joke and tried to find out when the sun sets at the Pole of Inaccessibility again. I still don’t know, but it turns out that earlier this year, a Chinese woman was the first person ever to reach this statue on foot. She had to hike 1800km across the Antarctic for that, as the pole marks the point furthest from any Antarctic coastline. It’s also the point with the lowest average temperature on the entire planet.

1800km is 20% of the Chinese long march. Doing that in Antarctica with just 2 assistants is simply incredible.
Also a chinese woman doing it to go see Lenin is incredibly based.
Imagine walking across fucking Antarctica for 80 days just for the hell of it (and to see a nice statue of Lenin of course). So cool.
Also love the tidbit from the article AcidSmiley shared in other comment that mentions all of the buildings at the camp at the pole of inaccessibility have long since been buried/destroyed by the elements yet Lenin apparently remains unharmed and fully visible. Really makes you think.
They should make a Kropotkin bust for the Antarkiddies
And put it, like, in Chicago or something
what about underwater Lenin
‘Radio Free’ warning but I archived it so they get no clicks
Remastered It using a program called Upscayl since the first one goes hard.
What kind of cheese is it made of?
