notbatman,
I am traveling to Antarctica next week. I will be there for several days. Is there any evidence supporting FE that you would like me to gather or are there any experiments that you would like me to run?
Sure, you're going to have a lot of flat, wide open space so if you could bring an 83x or 120x optical super zoom camera and take some photographs.
Step #1:
   Assuming dry and clear weather conditions find a landmark of known distance say in the ballpark of 8 miles, and photograph it from an elevation of 3 feet.
Step #2:
   When you return from Antarctica calculate the distance to the horizon on a sphere with a ~3,958 mile radius at a 3 foot elevation.
Step #3: ?
Step #4: Profit.

Antarctica is anything but flat and that can be done anywhere. I was hoping for a suggestion that is unique to Antarctica.
