What do flat earthers think about Antarctica?

It amazes me that Antarctica was not discovered until about the 1800s. Nobody got to the fake South Pole until the early 1900s. It was only just before I was born that it started to get explored. And then it was quickly shut down to the outside world, so that it is very difficult to get permission to travel there and to explore it independently. .
Antarctica is mysterious. It is vast and austere. If flat earth theory were true, Antarctica would look as it is. If the globe were true, Antarctica would not be as it is.
Supposedly the Piri Reiss Map shows what Antarctica looks like. That map supposedly was drawn before anyone went to Antarctica.
The existence of Antarctica was hypothesized by the ancient Greeks. If earth was perfect, it must be in the shaped of a sphere. If earth were a sphere, it must have symmetry. The bottom must look like the top. Earth is not symmetrical. Antarctica is unlike the North Pole. The globe model cannot explain why it is so different. It is very much colder, very much more remote from humanity. There is very little life there.
