First photos of Akedemik Tryoshnikov CREW!

 Here's "Dimitri" who seems to be a navigator sitting in the wheelhouse in front of computer screens.


Here's my modified map of a flat earth with approximations of where I think the various research stations should be. The GREEN LINE represents what COULD BE the route of the Treshnikov, leaving South Africa, hitting southern Australia, dipping down to Mertz glacier, cutting across to Chile and then back home to South Africa. What they're calling a circumnavigation of Antarctica might be, instead, a circumnavigation of the known world's continents instead. The reader can see that if one were to actually tour closer to the shore of Antarctica as a flat world rim, that the distance would be more.

Yesterday, I pointed to the photo at the left posted to an ACE twitter feed. I thought it looked fake. The light blue looks like photoshop color. Today, the same post has a label that says the captain intentionally rammed the ship into the iceburg to keep it locked in position. That doesn't seem right to me.
