What on Earth…

Yes thats what the ice wall is for, to stop the water falling off the edge. And its illegal to try and traverse the ice wall (better known as the south pole) ... even though its been done, but of course it wasn't, thats the government telling you lies, or CGI, or fake news. Unless of course the news is telling you the world is flat, in which case its 100% accurate and true.

Isn't it incredible how good the CGI was in 1909 when the South Pole was first reached?

Whats more incredible is that any photography from space is CGI, even stuff from the 70s when CGI basically was stick men on monochromatic screens, but if they have a picture of a ship not over the horizon that isn't CGI/Lens Issues/Refraction etc.

If the earth is flat, who lives on the other side? And why has no-one built a vertical tunnel? Would open up a whole new holiday trade.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Apparently 3% of the UK population believe the earth is flat, there must a be a few on here given we have [checks members tab] 35551 users registered on here that means we likely have over 100 flat earthers signed up, so come on, own up...
