Based on the very significant drop in your meme there, at 120,000 ft there should be a pronounced concavity, but...
When it comes to areal footage, could a plane be flown along the circle of the outer perimeter of earth, showing that the arctic wall forms a ring around the earth?
Unfortunately travel south of the 60th parallel by any means is highly restricted, thanks to the Antarctic Treaty. For some reason, that icy tundra and penguins have had such environmental value to the USA, Russia, China and other traditional enemies for over 50 years that they've maintained close multilateral alignment on the exclusion zone.
Captain Cook was one who reported seeing so many miles of ice walls that he couldn't account for. But alas, we only have the official sources these days.
Just re the pic, the flat earth is not floating in space lol. It's the Biblical earth model, more like this:
This is an oft repeated lie by Flat Earthers.Unfortunately travel south of the 60th parallel by any means is highly restricted, thanks to the Antarctic Treaty.
So what is the white space comprised of? Like what's beyond or around the outer blue of the illustration?
Just to note, I'm undecided about this, so any questions I ask aren't intended to debunk flat earth or prove globe earth.
This is an oft repeated lie by Flat Earthers.
The Antarctic treaty only forbids the member countries from building fortifications or military installations in Antarctica. It does not restrict travel,
or would there be any means of policing such a restriction if there were one. There is no coast guard or border patrol on the continent.
I figured it was something like that and why a plane flying along the perimeter (if there is one) wouldn't be an issue.This is an oft repeated lie by Flat Earthers.

Antarctica is an unforgiving, desolate place of extreme weather conditions. Any rescue mission would cost millions to undertake, so anyone wishing to travel there has to demonstrate they have more than adequate equipment that is above and beyond the task. The very fact that Jarle Andhoy's previous expedition resulted in the deaths of three people suggests there were good reasons why his journey had not been authorised. Many other expeditions have been authorised however, including the two men who independantly crossed the continent of Antarctica via the South pole on foot a few years ago, and the adventurer Dick Smith who circumnavigated the globe via the North and South poles by plane..Technically travel may not be prohibited outright, but administratively it's infeasible to obtain the requisite permits.
He just repeats all of the usual FE propaganda and invokes a couple of logical fallacies along the way.If you want the detail on accessibility of Antarctica, watch this video:

Really I would think at high altitude the curvature of the arctic ring should be plainly visible.

I supposed the only rebuttal to those examples is saying they were staged.Antarctica is an unforgiving, desolate place of extreme weather conditions.

Maybe, instead of posting a previous post... You could disprove his statement that all auto pilot systems use the map that he presented.
I am not a pilot and I don't personally know anyone who is. I suspect that he is the same and is simply making another one of his bold, unsupported claims. Everything else he claimed was false. He doesn't provide any reference to the the map other than a picture of what looks to be a poster. How do you suggest I prove something when no real information is provided other than his say so? Why do Flat Earthers find his claims in any way credible?Maybe, instead of posting a previous post... You could disprove his statement that all auto pilot systems use the map that he presented.
You are saying that he doesn't have a clue. Do you have the facts to support this and disprove what he is claiming?
Well, since you are not a pilot and don't know any personally.. Can you then rightfully claim that this person doesn't have a clue?I am not a pilot and I don't personally know anyone who is. I suspect that he is the same and is simply making another one of his bold, unsupported claims. Everything else he claimed was false.
Have you made any effort to confirm his claim or do you just give him a free pass because you want to believe it's true?
Based on everything else he said, and the fact that he provides no corroborating evidence for his claims, I think I am on pretty safe ground.Well, since you are not a pilot and don't know any personally.. Can you then rightfully claim that this person doesn't have a clue?
