A group of flat-earthers recently traveled to Antarctica to witness the midnight sun and challenge modern flat-earth theories. After watching the sun circulate continuously for 24 hours, several of them now admit that the flat Earth thesis must be reconsidered.
The expedition, led by Reverend Will Duffy of Colorado, brought together four flat-earthers and four believers in a spherical (round) Earth with the common goal of settling once and for all the debate over the shape of the Earth. The trip, called “The Final Experiment”, took place on December 14 and cost each participant about $35,000.
Jeran Campanella, known for his YouTube channel “Jeranism” and former proponent of the flat Earth theory, took part in the expedition. During a live broadcast from Union Glacier Camp in Antarctica, he admitted:
– Sometimes in life you’re wrong. I didn’t believe in a 24-hour sun, but I was wrong.
Flat Earthers have argued, among other things, that Antarctica is actually a wall of ice that surrounds the world and prevents the oceans from overflowing.
They argue that if the Earth were flat, the sun would not be visible 24 hours a day on this continent. The observation of the midnight sun in Antarctica therefore challenges this view, while supporting the theory of a spherical Earth.

Some skepticism remains
However, despite the convincing evidence, some doubts still remain among flat Earth supporters. Austin Whitsitt, another participant in the expedition, expressed skepticism, saying that the observation does not necessarily prove the roundness of the Earth and stressed the need for further investigation and openness to new data.
The somewhat humorous expedition has attracted attention and debate in both scientific and public circles. From a more serious point of view, many see it as an example of the importance of empirical observations and openness to reconsider one’s beliefs in the light of new evidence.
