Circumnavigation is perfectly possible on a flat earth.  When traveling east or west you're not really going in a straight line but rather in a circle around the north pole, which is in the center of FE.
Where did you educate the biology, in toulet?

You have a point...hmmmmm..... ???   if russia were to launch a nuclear missle at this "Alleged" Ice wall, destroy the mountains, and cripple the barrier. would the water drain off the earth?

The FAQ said nothing about magellan being a co-conspirator of NASA

That's because he wasn't.   :-\

If the water did not freeze by the time it reaches the edge, it would fly right off the edge.

Wouldn't The gravitationall pull on the base of the cylindrical FE keed the water on the earth?

According to some on these boards, gravity is too worried about being fictitious to notice. If you haven't noticed by now, the earth and nearby constituents are freaks of the universe that don't play by the rules.

What is odd though, is Circumnavigation in the southern hemisphere is a shorter distance than at the equator.  Look up the clipper route.

Quote from: Dogplatter to the BBC
"This is perhaps one of the most commonly asked questions," he says. "A cursory examination of a flat earth map fairly well explains the reason - the North Pole is central, and Antarctica comprises the entire circumference of the Earth. Circumnavigation is a case of travelling in a very broad circle across the surface of the Earth."

That would be because the RE is a map projection of the FE.

What are you talking about, and what does that have to do with my point?

Obvious troll is obvious. You really do need that script upgrade.

Circumnavigation is possible, but not around the poles.
This circumpolar navigation has been "accomplished" many times and is either the work of conspiracy or something we know not what.

Look at some of the alleged transcontinental crossings of Antarctica. The explorers only cross over a piece of land sticking out of the Antarctic coast.

hmm, you used a RE map, in a FE map the distance should be a lot more

The RE map is inaccurate;  likely the area shown travelled on the RE m ap is simply a small part of the much larger Antarctic coast.
