The coast of Antarctica does not prevent research into the interior. A famous example was the 1957 expedition to the South Pole. Wernher von Braun was the man who helped to confirm that the Earth was round, by making it possible for us to go to the Moon and see the Earth at a distance---but this roundness was known for a fact by the time of Magellan; you can't go "around" something that is flat. With half a dozen nations claiming overlapping sectors of Antarctica, the Antarctic Treaty was a way to resolve the conflicting claims and interests. You want to go there? Go. It is certainly possible to circumnavigate the Antarctic coast in international waters. Ah---but it would only prove the Earth is round. Why would you want to do that? Truth, so unwelcome to faith...
You get anywhere near the coast of Antarctica and military ships show up and tell you to turn around or they will blow your ship up. There are literally YouTube videos of people trying this and the military shutting them down. I don’t even think this (military control of Antarctica) is disputed.
Then commission a regular expedition. If you just show up unannounced and with no invite, expect this sort of thing. Still no obstacle to circumnavigation. There even used to be tourist flights over the continent. There are tourist flights to the south pole itself.
