And now this unfortunate trend is headed into the open ocean. The Flat Earth International Conference (FEIC) has just announced that it will be holding its 2020 conference on a cruise. Details on the cruise are scarce (much like their evidence that the Earth is flat) but a banner on the FEIC’s website promises that it will be the “biggest, boldest, adventure yet.”

Compounding the joke is where they’re not going. If you were to hazard a guess as to what a yet-to-be-named destination for Flat Earthers taking a cruise might be, you’d be foolish not to guess Antarctica. It is, after all, where you go to prove that the Earth is flat, according to Flat Earthers who believe that we all live on a flat disc. At the edge of that disc is the continent of Antarctica which acts as a barrier that keeps us from falling off.

The only thing that Flat Earthers need to do to legitimize their existence is to take a cruise to Antartica and sail around it. But, while they have yet to announce where they’re going, in a statement to the DailyMail.com, FEIC founder Robbie Davidson said Antartica is the one place they won’t be going. The 2020 trip is “just a cruise” and the group isn’t on a mission to find the ice shore at the end of the world “yet.”

The fact that Flat Earthers aren’t in a hurry to prove the very thing that defines them and would rather upgrade to that premium beverage package and luxuriate under Caribbean rays (which, according to them, emanates from a sun that rotates parallel to the Earth around the North Pole) doesn’t make the matter less ironic or embarrassing. Someone should check on Galileo’s severed fingers because they’re surely spinning in their glass jars.
