Flat Earth Advocate Reverses Belief After Antarctica Expedition Reveals 24-Hour Sun
Jeran Campanella, a flat Earth believer, changes his stand after experiencing the 24-hour sun during an Antarctica expedition, debunking conspiracy theories and challenging previous beliefs.
Even after all the scientific experiments, images from space, and the curve picture taken from Mount Everest, the theory of the flat Earth was debunked and dismissed. However, some of the believers in the flat Earth concept sought new evidence to prove that the Earth is not flat. This research led them to one of the coldest places on Earth.
Jeran Campanella, a prominent advocate of the flat Earth theory, has reversed his stance after an eye-opening trip to Antarctica. The $35,000 (approximately Rs 29 lakh) journey, part of an expedition called "The Final Experiment," aimed to settle debates over Earth’s shape.
Led by Pastor Will Duffy, the expedition included both flat Earthers and globe believers. During the trip, Campanella observed the 24-hour sun, a phenomenon that directly contradicted his earlier beliefs. Speaking about the experience, he said, “I was pretty sure there was no 24-hour sun. But it’s a fact. The sun circles you in the south. Sometimes, you are wrong in life.”
Campanella thanked Duffy for organizing the expedition and described it as the most incredible experience of his life. He also suggested the possibility of a 24-hour moon in the region, hinting at further exploration of this phenomenon.
The trip addressed longstanding flat Earth conspiracy theories, particularly claims that the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 prevents civilians from visiting the region to hide the Earth's shape. Campanella’s firsthand experience has debunked these notions, providing new clarity.
Austin Whitsitt, another flat Earth believer, clarified that they never argued it was impossible to visit Antarctica, but rather that "you can’t freely and privately explore it." He noted that flying over Antarctica could appear risky due to its stunning yet intimidating environment. He acknowledged the safety precautions in place, such as surveying the area to prevent accidents. Whitsitt also explained that the main goal of the trip was to observe the 24-hour sun, and he now plans to avoid engaging in extensive debates about its implications.
