>You said Sydney to Cape Town, what land has to be hidden compared to the route on a globe?
Australia itself, Papua New Guinea (I've actually flown over that, pretty distinct), Thailand, China, Nepal, bit of India, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Tanzania and a few other African countries.

>There's more than enough to make it very profitable
No. There literally is not. And I don't give a shit about flying to the south pole because there's no benefit to me above going anywhere else in the planet.

>Prove it.

No, I'm not trying to make it sound like it's local. It's just that when you are looking directly at the source more light is coming into your eyes, because when you're not looking at the source what you're seeing is reflections.
