In a surprising twist caught on camera, a prominent Flat Earther has publicly admitted he was wrong about a core belief of the conspiracy theory after traveling to Antarctica.
Jeran Campanella, a well-known Flat Earther and critic of NASA, recently documented his experience on the YouTube channel The Final Experiment.
Campanella, who also runs his own channel called Jeranism, revealed that he was flown to Antarctica.
At the expense of a “glober” (a term Flat Earthers use for people who believe the Earth is spherical) — to observe the apparent absence of a 24-hour sun in Antarctica for himself.
The $35,000 trip was sponsored by round-Earth advocate Will Duffy, who invited Campanella to witness the midnight sun, a natural phenomenon that occurs during Antarctica’s summer.
