A group of popular flat earth YouTubers have admitted defeat against the ‘globers’ after taking a trip to Antarctica to witness the 24-hour sun.

Colorado pastor Will Duffy organised the highly anticipated December 14 trip, dubbed The Final Experiment, which brought together four ‘flat earthers’ and four ‘globe earthers’ in an attempt to settle the debate once and for all.

Flat earthers have long maintained that Antarctica holds the key to proving the earth is flat.

In summer, due to the tilt of the earth, the sun does not set over much of the continent. In the flat earth view of the world, Antarctica is actually an ice wall that encircles the other continents and holds in the oceans. If that view were correct, the sun must rise and set each day, even in Antarctica, and could never circle the sky all 24 hours.
