A video of a map depicting Earth’s continents surrounded by an Antarctic “ice wall” is a creative interpretation from an online art forum. Some posts on social media have shared it with claims it proves the Earth is flat.
The image shows a map of Earth where the planet’s continents are labelled but structured differently, centered in the middle of a flat Earth, with Antarctica forming an ice ring around them. The map depicts unknown lands sandwiched between the first ice wall and a second, further ice wall.

The claim surfaced on TikTok and Facebook. Comments include: “Incredible,” and: “Where did you find this?”
One user shared the video on Facebook saying, in part, that the map shows that there is a “whole continent that’s been hidden from us for centuries.”
It was uploaded to an art community website called DeviantArt in June.
The image is part of a series titled: “The World Beyond the Ice Wall,” that is inspired by “worldbuilding,” “alternative history” and “conspiracy theories,” among other things, according to the image’s description on DeviantArt.
