Introduction:
Home of the first pyramid (and at least three pyramid ruins spotted in years past), the pre-Adamites, Rainbow City, the 7 plastic cities, Base 211, and so much more, Antarctica is a special place for many reasons most are yet unaware of. Today, it is the highest, driest, coldest, windiest land on Earth. (The Dry Valleys, for example, earned their name after not having received any rainfall at all in 14 million years due to the unique weather patterns surrounding them.) Millennia and millions of years ago, it was a temperate and even tropical paradise, noted on maps such as those by Piri Reis.
Modern humans have 73 publicly-acknowledge research stations and camps predominantly dotting its coast, major ice sheets, and 3 inland ice domes. (That’s why Inisfree is sometimes referred to as Station 74.) 3/4 of the continent is divided up in pie-shaped science territories; seven countries lay partial claim in this capacity, with a few dozen total having a seasonal presence there. The standing Antarctic-use treaty forbids a military presence or industrial development; there are no bases, mines, or cities allowed. 1/4 of Antarctica’s millions of square miles of terrain are unused and unclaimed, though, and all of it has too few people to ever enforce such laws and intents; it is wide open for anyone with the means and balls to get there.
It is actually two continents pushed together, covered in a continuous ice layer up to 2.2 vertical miles thick, and separated into East and West regions by the Trans-Antarctic Mountains, of which Vinson Massif is the tallest. Inisfree is located upon and around the base of one of that range’s peaks. The South Polar Hole is nearby.
To get there, you must brave both the hurricane-force katabatic winds along all its iceberg-tall coasts, 60 to 100 foot tall waves of water cold enough to freeze you in seconds throughout the vast and infamous Drake Passage, and wildlife ranging from pods of killer whales and leopard seals… to giant squid and more. If you survive all that, you will find 70% of the world’s fresh water, untapped resources for miles down into the Earth’s surface, mountains steepened and sharpened by extreme glaciation into gigantic vertical razor-blade shapes, and endless free energy from months of direct sunlight, months of constant winds, nonstop volcanic venting, and even the seismic activity of the ice-quakes. There is also the Aurora Australis; the Southern Lights; the same thing as the Aurora Borealis; the Northern Lights, just on the opposite end of the planet. I have dreamed many times of looking up from various ships sailing through the night under them… and silently crying tears of joy as the familiar and soothing polar winds caressed my face from my position along the railing of the bow.
Since 2010 I’ve been learning about this place. Inisfree’s original construction schedule ambitiously started with a 2011 base-camp several days inland. By 2012, the whole city was anticipated to be operational and ready for a soft opening. 2013 and on? Inisfree became Antarctica’s first capital.
If you are one of the 1,000 outstanding researchers (and their support personnel) approved for annual visits and projects here, count your lucky stars. A few thousand more get to skirt the dangerous coastlines of cleaving icebergs the size of New York City, and make landfall on some of the islands and Antarctica’s peninsular tail; student groups from universities sometimes make the cut, and of course those wealthy enough to afford the sightseeing yachts and rare commercial airline rides. There is another category of people who get to come here, but their details are up to you to find out.

Phases:
- learning of it, not yet able to go, and having no idea what it would become for me
- choosing it, finding many ways to get there, starting to go there in a special way, and designing what is destined to be there
- my wildest dream manifested, perfect, and providing all my transportation there and beyond… forever; Heaven on Earth is here
