lmfao! Don't run away, answer the simple question:
I don't need mother fucking NASA for this simple experiment. I can see the sun 93 million miles away, but I can't see Chicago from Minneapolis. At the ground floor of the Sears Tower, you can see a few miles away, and yet up at the observation deck on a clear day, you can see parts of 4 states (Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan). Explain that with a flat earth.
You can see the Sun is 93 million miles away? Seems implausible since it appears to change sizes as it traverses the sky, which I would be inclined to say shouldn't happen under said premise.
& well with that one you've really done with the height perspective relationship is express that the earth is not an infinite plane.

So the research station is in a hollywood set?
The station is a few hundred miles from the south pole. Even the physical pole is only a small trek from the ice shelf.
