Flat-Earther eats humble pie after going on mission to Antarctica

The freezing southern continent has long been at the center of the debate because some proponents of the idea that the Earth is flat believe that there is a giant wall of ice there (a bit like the one in Game of Thrones) marking the 'edge' of the world.

They also maintain that the day and night cycle is the same in Antarctica as it is away from the poles, even though Antarctica sees periods of several months of darkness and several months of daylight.

The difficulties inherent in accessing Antarctica to check this for themselves, they argue, is also evidence of the world's governments 'covering up' the 'truth' about the Earth's flat nature.

"I created The Final Experiment to end this debate, once and for all," said Duffy.

"After we go to Antarctica, no one has to waste anymore time debating the shape of the Earth."Fast-forward to the present and now Duffy's Antarctic expedition has actually taken place, with the Colorado pastor having taken four flat-Earthers along for the ride.

It wasn't long after they arrived that it became apparent that what they believed was simply not true.

"Alright guys, sometimes you are wrong in life," said prominent flat-Earther Jeran Campanella.

"I thought that there was no 24-hour sun, in fact I was pretty sure of it, but I respect Will Duffy for being a standup guy - at least in the way that he kept saying it was true, I kept saying it wasn't."

"Don't listen to my beliefs or my opinion, it shouldn't matter to you - but at least you should be able to accept that the sun does exactly what these guys said, as far as circles the southern continent."

Whether this in itself will be enough to persuade the most die-hard flat Earthers to completely abandon the idea that the Earth is flat, however, remains to be seen.
