How do you explain how I can get on an airplane and fly around the earth?
Then, how is it possible to circumnavigate in any direction? It is only possible on a sphere. Checkmate.
Of course they don't do it on a regular basis, because it is cold over the Poles and is therefore dangerous to fly over. It is possible, though, and people have done it.
Scientists fly over the Poles everyday. Do I really need to waste my time looking for details for you, or will you just concede that this is a fact?

If you can't demonstrate it, then you shouldn't believe it.

They miss you.
That would not be conclusive evidence. As you can see from the flat earth model below, a South Pole is not evidence of a round earth.
