Flat-Earthers' Cruise Will Sail to Antarctica 'Ice Wall' at the Planet's Edge. Right.
Live Science ^ | 3/22/2019

Posted on 06/19/2019 11:08:33 AM PDT by Gamecock

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.

“What is on the other side of the ice wall?”
The alternate flat earth (the other side of the coin).

I wonder how they explain two ships at sea sailing apart suddenly can’t see each other at a fairly short distance no matter how powerful the optic they are using?

That's what I always want to know when they talk about the edge of the universe.

Don’t any flat earthers have cameras? And can’t they buy an airline ticket? Sounds like a case of “Willing Ignorance.”

Or how distant mountains first reveal their peaks, even though the bases are closer.
