If the earth was flat, with a telescope you would be able to see the whole mountain (mentioned in the experiment you referenced) and everything in between not just the top of the mountain.

Likewise from the west cost of the American continent you would be able to see the ice wall.

It seems to me that either of these would be easy enough experiments to perform if you wanted to prove that the earth was flat.

Why do ships disappear over the horizon if the earth is flat?

How could the people who walked across Antarctica do it in the time it took if Antarctica was a ring around the edge?

Why is there 24hr sun as ‘discovered’ by the flat earthers who went to Antarctica.

Every country on earth that has sent astronauts to the ISS must be working together to conspiring against us.

How exactly would this be possible? Specifically?

Light travels in straight lines. We can see whatever is in our line of sight. If the earth is flat and there is nothing between us and the ice wall we should be able to see it from great distances

Ridiculous claim - the air at sea level is the least "transparent". Some day you can see a mountain 100 kms away, some day you cannot. The notion we would be able to see forever is either a lazy or bad faith argument. It is observably false.
