If flat earth theorists are wrong about Antarctica, why don't round earthers PROVE it by going to the "south pole" to debunk us?
What would be gained if hundreds of those that believe the earth to be a Globe went to the South Pole? They "know" the earth is Globe.
I'll put the following this way, because if I state it categorically, you will ask me to prove, and all I can do is give links to "Globularist sources".
It is reported that around around 50 people winter Amundsen–Scott Station at the South Pole with a peak population of about 200 in the summer season from October to February.
They know the South Pole is real and the furthest south anyone can travel. It is flat earthers who need convincing and there seems little chance if that.
Anyone, at considerable cost, can visit the South Pole - take your own sextant so you can prove you haven't been dumped in the wrong place.
Though I believe that I could safely say that no flat earther, except
Tom Bishop could return from the South Pole - sure, the person would return but would no longer be a flat earther.
I excluded
Tom Bishop because, as far as I know, he at least accepts the possibility of the South Pole.
I don't see a problem with the bi-polar model. The South Celestial pole is always in one spot.

The South Pole was not yet discovered when Rowbotham wrote Earth Not a Globe. It is understandable why he might depict the earth without it.
The Bi-Polar model is first advocated in the book The Sea-Earth Globe and and its Monstrous Hypothetical Motions, (Zetetes, 1918). However, the layout of the continents is left ambiguous due to lack of data. The layout and dimensions of the continents in our picture may be different as well. Someone apparently just found a map projection of a globe that looked similar for illustrative purposes.
What I fail to understand is the many flat earthers seem so vehement about there being no single South Pole, yet
Tom Bishop,
Sandokhan and possibly others seem open to a South Pole.
