"Please have a look at this map and see. It is called The Buache Map and it plainly shows two massive ice sheets and this is what appeared on all the early maps that show a large supposed continent in The Southern Hemisphere.:"

The Bauche Map is from the 18th century, but more than 200 years earlier Orontius Fineus produced a map which showed Antarctica very much as it appears on modern maps. Not only that, it showed mountains where they are currently known to exist as well as rivers, now presumeably buried under ice. The only beef about this map is that it is skewed 20* & represents the continent as larger than it indeed is....otherwise it's a very fair representation of Antarctica from 1531. There is also the notorious Piri Re'is map from 1513, make of it what you will. In any case, your statement that no older maps show anything besides ice is incorrect.
