Flat-Earthers' Cruise Will Sail to Antarctica 'Ice Wall' at the Planet's Edge. Right.

Organizers of an annual conference that brings together people who believe that the Earth is flat are planning a cruise to the purported edge of the planet. They're looking for the ice wall that holds back the oceans.
The journey will take place in 2020, the Flat Earth International Conference (FEIC) recently announced on its website. The goal? To test so-called flat-Earthers' assertion that Earth is a flattened disk surrounded at its edge by a towering wall of ice.
Believers in a flat Earth argue that images showing a curved horizon are fake and that photos of a round Earth from space are part of a vast conspiracy perpetrated by NASA and other space agencies to hide Earth's flatness. These and other flat-Earth assertions appear on the website of the Flat Earth Society (FES), allegedly the world's oldest official flat Earth organization, dating to the early 1800s.
Whether or not the FEIC cruise will rely on GPS or deploy an entirely new flat-Earth-based navigation system for finding the end of the world, remains to be seen.

I’m not a flat earther, though I do believe that scientists do mitigate theories around their belief systems.
I would take this cruise for the heck of it.

“Flatness” is a local convenience only so your crude rates both spatial and temporal can be extrapolated into an unflat world.

A cruise to Antarctica—ROTFLMAO!! To get there the ship’s navigator will use celestial navigation techniques and spherical trigonometry formulas that prove that the earth is an oblate spheroid because they work. I know because I’ve taken a number of celestial navigation courses.
