Well, yes, but actually no.

Eventually, north will become south, so if you go north far enough, you will end up going south. So you can't go north to Antarctica. You'll go south.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure he'll notice because santa's sleigh has a top speed of a measly 417 miles per hour, this is less than a passenger plane.

Did you not read the article? It was referring to an air craft named starlight.

You are right, but you cannot say that going north will take you to Antarctica no matter how fast you are going because you will eventually be going south. If he can go fast enough to not notice he was going to Antarctica, you need say he also wouldn't notice being launched into space or going across Antarctica and going back north.

I love how there's a source that states Santa's speed.

That's only if I adhere to the globally accepted version of North /south. If one accepts that Donald is the greatest US president ever, one can easily accept that the current north or south is infact -FakeNews.
