Flat-Earthers Are Planning An Antarctic Expedition To "The Edge Of The World"

Get your fleece - lined tin foil hats at the quick , a gang of prominent flat - Earthers are reportedly interested in going on   an expedition to Antartica , hoping to discover the true nature of our satellite once and for all .

As report byForbes , salient flat - Earthers are showing interest group in a trek across ( or at least towards ) Antarctica . How   they plan to go about this is not   clear-cut yet , but the pipe - dreaming   looks to speak one of the great totem of the matte - ground theory : What ’s the deal with the South Pole ?

" All we have to do to shut out this debate down once and for all is get the distance of the sea-coast of Antarctica , ” Jay Decasby , a striking flat - Earther , toldForbes .

“ If we can get to the seacoast of Antarctica and sweep all the way around it , we will get the distance that will prove it ’s the outer edges of flat earth and rebut alone every unmarried argument anyone can possibly seek to pitch for the Dominicus - worshipping fad of heliocentrism . "

Ahead of the release of the documentaryThe Flat Earth : To The Edge And Back , controversial YouTuber Logan Paul has also expressed interest , claiming : “ If I ’m go to put my name out there [ as a Flat Earth supporter ] , I desire to know the facts . ”

" I am that guy that will make it to the boundary , " he added , according to Forbes . Whether or not he ’s “ just trolling , ” remains to be see .

However , as the flavorless - Earthers are all too aware , theAntarctic Treaty of 1961could make this hard . The chief role of this international accord is to abnegate any claim of territorial reign in Antarctica . However , vapid - Earthers argue it strongly restricts secret geographic expedition of the area . That said , the pact does condition that the region should have “ exemption of scientific probe ” . Whether or not this clobber can be defined as science , however , is another question .

The nature of Antarctica is a unceasing bugbear for flat - Earthers . TheFlat Earth Societyexplain on their website that “ along the boundary of our local area exists a massive 150 substructure Ice Wall … The Ice Wall is a monolithic wall of ice that smother Antarctica . The shelf of ice is several hundred meters compact . ” The purpose of this wall , so the theory goes , is to block explorers from passing beyond .

It almost goes without saying that Antartica has been widely explored for over a century and many people have intersect it . On December 14 , 1911 , an expedition team direct by the Norwegian IE Roald Amundsen became the first citizenry to reach the geographical South Pole , nonplus a rival British party led by Robert Falcon Scott by over a calendar month . The exploit has since been fill out by oodles of expedition teams from across the earth .

You might also remember therecently proposed plansto have a two-dimensional - Earther sail across the world ’s sea in 2020 . This more modest design is apparently already in the works , according to theFlat Earth Conference , so stay tune up .
