Actually only a few people need to be in on the conspiracy.

People are so indoctrinated that even after they see with their own two eyes objects that should be miles below the horizon they still don't realize they were fooled.

I'm going to assume you are ignorant. The current idea among flat earthers is that Antarctica compasses the edge of the earth. And the Antarctic treaty prevents people from exploring past the 66° latitude. People have tried and were forced (literally) to turn back or to be destroyed.

Regarding the 24 hr light experiment, if a camera crew went to a location in Antarctica and proved that it was indeed light 24/7, it would only prove that it was light in that particular location 24/7.  If an FE set up in one location and had the same result, it would prove that it was light 24/7 at that particulate location of the disc.  To prove it was light 24/7 in the entire sphere that FE's call Antarctica, camera crews would have to set up at hundreds of locations around the disc shaped perimeter at the same time.  So, the difficulty for an FE is not trying to explain how the sun "could continuously light up the entire circuit formed by Antarctica."  It is to explain how the sun could light up one location 24/7. 

No, it's not.  All trips to Antarctica have to be pre-approved by the proper authorities and have to meet certain strict conditions for approval.  Someone has a video regarding the mounds of paperwork that have to be completed.  Nobody is saying that no one can go there, just that no one can go there without strict government oversight.

Here is a picture of what is at the south pole:



And here is a picture of a guy at the south pole showing his GPS device indicating he is at exactly 90 degrees south latitude, the south pole:

Um, I was just responding to Tony, who said:

If he's wrong, you should take that up with him.

Just a mirage.
