Flat Earth Theory / Re: Is antarctic a continent unto itself or the actual ice wall?

It's already been done - not as an experiment for the purposes of disproving FE theory, but rather as part of the fundamental assumptions underlying navigation. The same principles are illustrated by airlines selecting flight paths for their airliners. If the FE view was legitimate, then routes in the southern hemisphere would be disproportionately longer and routes in the northern hemisphere disproportionately shorter. Of course, this is not what we see. We see the world acting as if it were a sphere because it is a sphere.
And you know this, as well. You guys are just Discordians.

Take the FE view of the world as a disk with the North Pole at the center. Have two travelers move due south in opposite directions - one moving down through the Americas, the other moving down through Asia and India. Both will be moving toward the "ice wall" of Antarctica. Have each one place a flag on the coast of Antarctica. Now, have them travel along the coast until they reach each other's flags. According to the FE view, they will have to travel much, much farther than those who accept the spherical earth would expect them to have to travel to reach each other's flags.
Of course, this proves that the FE view is nonsense.

Sounds like a great experiment... Let us know when you've compiled the results and don't forget to include sources of errors.
