Where is the south pole on a flat earth map?
This doesn't look like an ice wall:
And there is this place, not even on the edge?

I read an article where someone was at a flat earth convention and had an honest discussion with one of them. He asked the flat earth believer if there was an airplane flight available that flew over the south pole, would he like to be treated to that flight, cost free, just so he could see for himself? The flat earth believer said yes, he'd like to see that. So the guy found a commercial airline flight from somewhere in New Zealand to somewhere in South America and said here we go.... then the flat earther turned him down. He got scared that what he might see would not jibe with his entire way of thinking how the world worked.
I'm from the have to see it to believe it school of thought. So far, everything I've seen corresponds to a round earth. Nothing I've seen with my own eyes has presented itself as supporting a flat earth.
From watching sunsets from land, sea, and air.
From watching ships sailing away from me over the horizon.
From looking at round planets through telescopes since I was a toddler.
From looking at all the phases of the the moon through telescopes since I was a toddler (it doesn't give off it's own light).
From watching solar and lunar eclipses since I was in grade school.
From watching a space shuttle launch in Florida (actually 2 of them).
From viewing the Chicago skyline from just about every point around the lower section of Lake Michigan from East Chicago all the way to St. Joe/Benton Harbor since I was a toddler.
From going to the observation deck of the Willis Tower (used to be the Sears Tower).
From being an art student since I was a toddler and learning about the actual meaning of the word 'perspective' (It's the first large word I taught both of my children).
All of those things I've seen in person. Not on TV. Not on the big screen. In person, right in front of me...
From all that, I've concluded that so far, the world is round.
People that insist the world is flat will turn down every opportunity to go with you to witness things for themselves. They are scared to test their faith. Faith should be tested. It's the way you discover truth. It's how science works. You test to make things fail. If they fail, they were faulty. If they pass, they are still correct. And you keep testing and testing and testing.
