  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Which is impossible to do unless you fly over the very high iced walls which is what Admiral R Byrd did in 'operation high jump'.
Unfortunately all you read of this is what is repeated by conspiracy nutjobs. If you actually read the full accounts you would not be using Admiral Byrd in an attempt to support your ice wall nonsense.

Like many coastlines, Antarctica has cliffs ie walls of ice. And also like many coastlines, it also has areas that are at sea level.

In his interview Byrd says, 'Theres is an area as big as US & thats an area on the the others side & that's beyond the pole on the other side of the south pole.'

And I showed you where that area he was talking about was on the Antarctica continent. Apart from his flight to the South Pole and back from their base in "Little America", most of their exploration was confined to mapping the coastline.
After this the Antarctic treaty was signed,
Which was to prevent any country from exploiting and potentially damaging a fragile ecosystem. It doesn't stop people from going there.

People always ask me ' Why does flat earth matter ?'.

In this video it explains why it matters.
From reading your opening post I have absolutely no idea why you (@Apple Sky) think a flat earth matters.

If you think this is important, you need to explain (preferable in your own words) the reasons why. By all means include a link to some video as a reference or to include additional details. But your post needs to convey your message on its own, without needing to look up a video.

These forums are word based. Your explain something using written English (making allowance that English is the second language for some of your readers, and others only know American English).

People will then respond. Some will agree with, perhaps with further supporting evidence. Others will disagree and will give opposing arguments. If you want to continue the discussion, then reply to the opposing arguments. But responding with 'shrug' or 'don't be silly' is childish and suggests you have no valid answer. It is also very irritating.

Of course, contributing to any forum is entirely optional and replying to posts is not mandatory. Most (?) of us are busy with other things and cannot waste all day watching this site.

People have not ventured deep into the true Antarctica, so yes someone is lying either that or they truly do not know where they really are.
12 years ago Maria Leijerstam (from South Wales) was the first person to cycle to the South Pole the edge of the Antarctic continent on a custom made trike (made in Cornwall).

She has completed various long distance runs and cycle rides across inhospitable areas, plus a degree in Maths, will mean she can navigate and will be able to work out where she is.

She lives in the Cardiff area, so is close enough for @Apple Sky to visit.

There are numerous links on Google about her world record breaking achievement, including:

And here is a YouTube video all about it:

Flat earth is not a PSYOP, flat earth destroys every PSYOP that has ever been used to control us.
They've invented this fantastic senario called the globe.

Why does the flat earth matter b/c it shows the deception of not only NASA but from all the world wide leaders.

And one day it will all come light.

Once the seed has been planted there's noway from stopping it grow unless it is pulled up and discarded.



People always ask me ' Why does flat earth matter ?'.

In this video it explains why it matters.



Not really true, there are lots of reasions seeds won't germinating usually because of wrong temperature, incorrect moisture (too dry/wet), poor seed quality (old/bad storage), planting too deep, lack of oxygen, or pests/disease, not meeting specific seed needs like warmth for peppers or light for others, leading to failure to sprout or 'damping off'.

So she cycled to the south pole, how did she manage this without crossing the sea ?

I would agree with this if my opinions were foolish & full of falsehoods, but they are not.

ChatGPT said:​

Maria Leijerstam got to Antarctica by ship and aircraft, using the same logistics system most modern Antarctic expeditions rely on. In simple terms:
  1. Commercial flight to South America
    She first flew from the UK to Chile (usually Punta Arenas), which is the main international gateway to Antarctica.
  2. Chartered flight to Antarctica ✈️
    From Chile, she boarded a specialized Antarctic flightoperated by a polar logistics company.
    • The aircraft landed on a blue-ice runway in Antarctica (Union Glacier Camp area).
  3. Internal Antarctic transport
    Once on the continent, she and her equipment were flown by ski-equipped aircraft to her starting point at Hercules Inlet.
  4. Start of the expedition ‍♀️❄️
    From Hercules Inlet, she began her human-powered journey, cycling and hauling her sled all the way to the South Pole.
This combination—commercial flights → chartered polar flight → ski plane—is standard for explorers today, since Antarctica has no ports or public airports.

How would she have known if it's the real Antarctica ?

There's been many people all over Antarctica since then.

Then why didn't she and all of others arrive at the precipice edge of the Earth?

Because she rode the edge & wouldn't have gone further enough in.
