Pretty cool video of the sun staying above the horizon in Antarctica all day long.
Not sure how the sun can stay over the North Pole and Antarctica both, but I'm sure a flat-earther can explain it for us.

These posts are always a bit funny. How could the Earth be flat if I have sunshine, and Austraiia is in the dark? If I call my friend in Australia, and he says that it's literally night time right now, is he on the other side of a flat disk?
If I fly there (as my wife has), wouldn't you see the plane flying over the edge of the flat disk to the other side, that's dark when it's light on the side she's coming from?
Oh Lordy Lordy. Anyone who believes the Earth is flat needs a bit of help in the brain department. Most likely, you've never flown around the world, and without that help, you'll just not get it.
My favorite flights are when you basically fly along with the edge of the shadow of the Earth. Kinda hard to pull off on a flat Earth.
You do realize that if a plane flies over a pole, when that pole happens to have the great majority of constant sunlight, it's going to look like the Earth faces the sun for a long time? The poles, at the greatest exposure to the sun in the year, get something like 23 hours of direct sunlight.
But hey, that may all be a lie, even if I experienced it.
Thanks!
