Circumnavigation and Antarctica's Ice Wall World’s Last Chance Question: Countless explorers have circumnavigated the globe. How do you explain this if the Earth is flat? Answer: These explorers/sailors simply sailed East or West until they arrived again at their starting point. This in no way indicates that the world is a ball or a globe or sphere. When using a compass to navigate land or sea, the needle will always point towards the North Pole, from which East and West can be determined. Polaris, the "North Star," also serves as a reliable beacon of true North, from which East and West can be easily ascertained. On the Flat Earth, if one were to head due East or West via the compass (or Polaris), they would inevitably end up back at their original starting point. Note that the North Pole is at the center of the Earth. The entire outer ring then is "South." If one sails due East or West, they will inevitably end up back where they started. https://www.worldslastchance.com/ecourses/lessons/the-flat-earth-of-the-bible-ecourse/69/circumnavigation-and-antarcticas-ice-wall.html
