I wonder if the Colombo bit about Al Pittman sighting 'the Edge" comes from his poem Brimstone Head

Wow thanks for the quick reply pizaaplanet. I have emailed Iris Taylor (http://www.itaylorresearch.com/fes_images.html) who I found online to see if she has any other insight or primary sources.

From what you are saying, regardless whether Brimstone Head is a 'corner', the FES has never believed in the earth having corners anyway. I did find online the other corners are the Bermuda Triangle, Hydra and Papua New Guinea. Where do you think this is coming from? None of these seem to have any relationship that I can see.

Also - in regards to the Colombo paragraph. Doesn't the FES believe the North Pole is the centre of the world? If so his sentence doesn't make sense that one can see the edge of the world from the North Pole (or indeed Fogo which is fairly far north).

Hi all,

I was just visiting Fogo Island in Newfoundland Canada. There is a place there called Brimstone Head which is promoted as one of the four corners of the world according to the Flat Earth Society.

Brimstone Head, Fogo, a piece of rocky landscape jutting into the sky. The Flat Earth Society believes this is one of the four corners of the Earth.

I searched online but can't seem to find any more info on what the four corners of the world are or why Brimstone Head would be one or anything from the FES with info on this. Does anyone here know anything about this or why the Flat Earth Society has come to this conclusion.

Thanks!
