You're not getting it.  Unless you can manage to traval hundreds, or even thousands (the thickness of the wall is unkown) of miles into the wall, than you're not going to see that it is a wall.  You'll just see it as Antarctica.
It seems to be you who's not getting it. People have literally hiked, flown, driven or ridden across Antarctica to the water on the other side. Did the people who've done this - alone, no companies diverting them - all take a wrong turning the same way and ended up by the Sea on the other side of the world in a time far too short to be possible? Rather far fetched if you ask me...

They didn't take a wrong turn.  They are all bribed liars.

Tom Bishop and the other FE-ers have just proven that there is no need for guarding the Ice Wall. This is the line of deduction that lead me to that conclusion:

1. Because FE-ers were and are still not able to give a solution to the following problem (http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=13330.0), they had to accept that the Flat Earth is spanning infinitely. They used the argument that even the book
Earth: Not a Globe confirms that the Earth may be infinite;

2. Now that they have accepted an infinite FE, it is unnecessary to presume that an edge of the world exists, so this answer in the FAQ is not true:

Quote
Q: "If the world was really flat, what would happen if you jump off the disc's edge?"

A: You would enter an inertial reference frame, moving at a constant velocity in the direction the Earth was moving before you jumped. The Earth would continue accelerating upwards past you at a rate of 1g, so it would appear to you that you were falling into space.

Therefore, everyone who tries to go south will continue indefinitely in a windy and icy environment and eventually die. If she wants to survive, she must turn back and admit she hasn’t crossed the Antarctica continent.

3. The guards of the Ice Wall were supposed to keep you from seeing it. Why? If you see bunch of Ice sticking out of the Southern Sees, you would think that’s Antarctitica. If you went to take a walk in the Ice, you would find yourself in a situation described under point 2.

I do not even want to mention the difficulties arising from an infinite rotating plane.

Back to Mr. Ireland, yes that is alot - a hell of a lot - more far fetched than people driving. Also, how can you explain that people can travel across Antarctica in the time it would take to travel across it in RE and end up on the opposite hemispere but in FE they can go half way round the entire circumference of the planet's edge in that time to get to the same place as if the Earth was round?

Essentially, do it yourself and the FE'ers might believe you.

If that were true the ice wall would be more like giant icicles hanging from the edge of the earth rather than a wall, is this what it is like.

If it were finite, than yes.  But the infinite idea is confusing me.

I AM serious!

Studies estimate about 2 out of 3 people have been bribed by the conspiracy at one point or another.

Because James Clark Ross reports a circumference of 60,000 miles.

How do you know it is a continent?

could you, uh, maybe provide some sort of source that shows that, or when and where, he actually said/reported that

it would be nice...
round on the sides and "hi" in the middle

oh, and the earth is round too

Evil Toothpaste says it doesn't matter anyway because coastlines are fractals that just get longer the closer you get to them.   ;D

I measured with Google Earth and got a perimeter length of around 11,500.  Of course, Google assumes a round earth, and also this was from relatively high up (fractals, remember).   ::)
Where did you educate the biology, in toulet?

Fuck that was a stupid statement...  Because we all know to make something bigger just get closer; but be sure not to bring measuring equipment as you get closer, or it stays the same size.

If there is a government conspiracy to stop anyone seeing the Ice Wall, how do you know there is one?

I've seen the great wall of the eternal dark ice in the back wall of my freezer/killer fridge.
