"She was the first Korean woman to visit Antarctica"

Isn't that kind of hard to prove? - Richfife (talk) 21:47, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary, I think it would be easy to prove. Record keeping for the stations is pretty strict. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.230.212 (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But that's different, because most people visiting Antarctica don't work at a station. You can visit Antarctica just by getting on a ship in Argentina, New Zealand or Chile. Plenty of tourists have done that.

Exactly. The stations are not the continent. - Richfife (talk) 02:07, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting point about tourism. I've not managed to find any sources contradicting her as the first South Korean woman on the continent. The Korea Times has a piece suggesting that the first Koreans to land on Antarctica were only in 1985,^[1] and their expedition is pretty well documented, so it seems unlikely that anybody else preceeding them didn't come forward. Widespread Antarctic tourism isn't that old, and the firms have to keep detailed records. It'd be primary research though. Do you have any suggestions for secondary/tertiary sources? T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)^talk 04:16, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article says "one of the first Koreans who explored the continent", which doesn't go right out and say they were the first and also "exploring" and "visiting" are two different things. We're not talking the biggest ball of yarn in Nebraska here, this is Antarctica and the 1980s is awfully late.

In short, there's an implicit claim here: No Korean Woman set foot on Antarctica before 1991. That's an extraordinary claim, and it needs extraordinary proof. - Richfife (talk) 14:47, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
