It is, according to Flat Earth conspiracy theorists, the place where the world ends – but, for now, it seems, they have no plans to go there and prove it.

Reports that believers have chartered a cruise ship to go in search of the planet’s outer edge at the Antarctic are – a little like the group themselves, helio-centrics might say – somewhat confused.

Newspapers across the globe have reported theorists are planning an expedition to the ice continent to prove, contrary to 600 years of orthodox thought, the world is not spherical.

The rumours appear to have started after prominent Flat Earther Robbie Davidson, who is organising a cruise for believers in 2020, told Forbes magazine he would like to explore the Antarctic one day.

But he has since clarified his comments and said such a trip will not be taking place during next year’s cruise.
