ORIGINAL: kch looks very interesting.. The game doesnt allow you to sail below Antartica right? After all, it is a continent Antarctica itself is a land mass, but there are permanent ice shelves along the coast that submarines could possibly operate under. The US McMurdo base is right next to the Ross Ice Shelf, the largest coastal ice shelf with an area of about 470,000 square kilometers (about 181,500 square miles). The mean thickness of the Ross Ice Shelf is about 330 meters (1,100 feet), a bit deep for Los Angeles-class subs in CMANO but max depth for the Akula (Shchuka-B) and Seawolf classes would allow them to operate underneath. Surfacing through the ice might be difficult though.
