So who the hell actually believes this stuff? A lot of people in Indonesia, it seems.
Worldwide, the entire notion smacks of a willful ignorance and a boneheaded refusal to accept a mountain of scientific evidence. The president of the Flat Earth Society has been called the world's "most irrational person." Former US President Barack Obama referred to climate change deniers as the Flat Earth Society. Now, this idea has been universally mocked. Who is to say that Antarctica is not a wall of ice arranged in a ring around all the edge of the flat disk? Although, I have to say that this map of Shackleton's Antarctic explorations looks straight enough. In their view, no one has ever traversed the entire width of the continent in a straight line, so therefore there is no proof that it's even a continent at all. This conspiracy theory alleges that the Earth is actually a flat disk surrounded by an impenetrable ring of ice that we call Antarctica.
