Flat Earth Theory / Re: Not here to "Debunk" FE theories, but I've Flown across Antarctica 11 times.

Oh, also...since there are so many that have flown over Antarctica and continue to do so, where are the flat earth explorers who have seen and documented many-month trips along a perimeter ice wall that never ends? All I've seen so far are references to ancient explorers and old books, is there any current exploration evidence?  Before I subscribe to a theory that we live in a giant snowglobe, I need people to understand why we (navigators) do not use the Bible as a navigation reference since from what I can see so far, so many are referencing the bible as proof of a flat earth.  If one were to take biblical geography as fact, wouldn't the earth have corners?  I have attached a couple images of the Antartic continent showing the frozen ice sheets surrounding the land mass.  Please explain.

I'm here to admire different schools of thought and was hoping to learn something but I can't get over the fact that I've seen things that TFES adamantly denies so I need some help from you to determine why what I've seen and experienced with my own eyes is a lie.  After college, I was with the US Coast Guard for 9 years and was a Navigation first officer during many Antarctic crossings where it was our job to continually monitor and report large ice breakings so we could monitor and report to Southern shipping lanes for safety reasons.  We also constantly photographed (and continue to do so) the advancing and retreating of Antarctic ice sheets to determine the level of advancement we are experiencing of melting ice.

At 49, I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person and have been a life-long explorer at heart (having sailed every ocean and have circumnavigated the planet).  Herein lies my confusion....I have flown across Antarctica and have seen the continent from one side to another in less than a day (how is this possible in the FE model)?  How have I seen (dozens of times), a completely different starry sky in the Northern Hemisphere than I do in the Southern Hem?  I know that compasses and Telescopes are not a form of Witchcraft, and one could not possibly surmise that an agency like NASA has lied about literally everything under the scrutiny of some very intelligent people that have graced our planet.  I can't imagine that this has been some huge conspiracy just to sell globes.  Please help.
