flatearthtextbook.blogspot.ca/2016/11/midnight-sun.html FROM THOMAS WINSHIP 1899: If the earth be a globe, at midnight the eye would have to penetrate thousands of miles of land and water even at 65° North latitude, in order to see the sun at midnight. That the sun can be seen for days together in the Far North during the Northern summer, proves that there is something very seriously wrong with the globular hypothesis. Besides this, how is it that the midnight sun is never seen in the south during the southern summer? Cook penetrated as far South as 71°, Weddell in 1893 reached as far as 74°, and Sir James C. Ross in 1841 and 1842 reached the 78th parallel, but I am not aware that any of these navigators have left it on record that the sun was seen at midnight in the south.
Captain Woodside of the American barkentine Echo, at Capetown on 26th June, 1898, reports that he had been a good deal in the great southern ocean, and often when in latitude 62° south he has had a kind of daylight all night, but not sufficient to read by; but the midnight sun was never seen.
Since writing the foregoing I have received from the Secretary of the Royal Belgian Geographical Society a paper, entitled EXPEDITION ANTARCTIQUE BELGE.
In this paper it is stated by Lieut. de Gerlache, the Commander of the expedition, that:
"On 17th May the sun set, and was not seen above our horizon again until 21st July."
This was during the severest part of the winter at latitude 71° 36' south.
On pages 9 and 10 of the same pamphlet it is stated that the ship quitted her winter quarters on the 14th February. She had thus been a winter and a summer in the ice at that latitude. During the winter, the extraordinary phenomenon of total darkness caused by the total disappearance of the sun for two months is duly recorded, and had the sun been seen at midnight in the summer, it is only natural and reasonable that such another extraordinary phenomenon should have been chronicled; but there is not one word in the pamphlet about the matter. We conclude, therefore, that there is no midnight sun in the south. The midnight sun can be seen in the north during the summer at 66° of latitude, and if there be the same extraordinary phenomenon in the south, it must have been seen at the latitude the "Belgica" reached much sooner and longer than it is in the north at latitude 66.
