A Denver pastor set out to Antarctica to challenge the “globe-earther” versus flat-earther debate, reportedly spending $35,000 for the trip alone.

Will Duffy brought four globe-earthers and four flat-earthers to see if the sun would set in Antarctica during the solstice.

Duffy’s crew included YouTuber and conspiracy theorist Jeran Campanella, who focuses much of his work on the flat-earth theory. Campanella ultimately watched the 24-hour sun in Antarctica, which writer Justin Hart demonstrated in this post.

The fantastic display of a 24-hour sun proved to Campanella that the Earth is spherical and not simply drawn upon a flat plain.

“Sometimes you are wrong in life,” said Campanella. “… I thought there was no 24-hour sun. In fact, I was pretty sure of it. And it’s a fact — the sun does circle you in the south.”

Campanella’s life work was debunked, but that did not change the opinions of his audience, who attempted to undermine the findings with even more conspiracy theories.

At this point, it’s evident that believers of such conspiracy theories will only try to find “flaws” with any factual evidence that challenges their claims. Hopefully, Duffy will embark upon other zealous crusades, giving these folk a better grasp of reality.
