I painstakingly made this from archived images from Himawari 8. And some experimenting with key framing. ~

Only at the Pole - the sun circles around the horizon in 24h here is a time-lapse of nearly 5 days from March 08-13, 2017. So only a few days until sunset so in the course of 360° the sun moves a bit closer to the horizon. ~
Some flat earther claim they have debunked a video from Anthony Powell, which was edited to get a continous video. The original video run for more than 36 hour:

Non-stop sailing from Cape Town, South Africa to Hobart, Australia around the Antarctic continent, along, and south of the 60th parallel South. The voyage started: 23 December 2017 at 06:56:20 hours (UTC), and finished: 5th April 2018, 05:55:25 (UTC).
No sailor in history managed to circumnavigate Antarctica so close to the continent and at the same time so fast.

On October 30, 1977, Pan Am 747SP "New Horizons" (N533PA) landed after flying over both North and South Poles in a record setting time of 54 hours, 7 minutes. This "Pan Am Flight 50" celebrated the 50th anniversary of Pan American Airlines. As documented in this historic film, the flight lasted from October 28-30,1977. It started at San Francisco/SFO and had three stopovers at London-Heathrow Airport, Cape Town International Airport, and Auckland Airport.

A seven-meter (23-foot) long, wind-powered unmanned surface vehicle (USV) called a saildrone has become the first unmanned system to circumnavigate Antarctica.
The 196-day mission was launched from Southport in Bluff, New Zealand, on January 19, 2019, returning to the same port on August 3 after sailing over 22,000 km (13,670 miles or 11,879 nautical miles) around Antarctica.
#156 | Author: Robert Schwarz | Type: Video | Keywords: Moon, Antarctica, South Pole, Time Lapse, Moonphases
Last year I had the idea to take a 14 day time lapse of the moon (the moon is 14 days above and below the horizon) and see the changing phase while it is circling the horizon and changing it's position in respect to the sun. ~

Great circle route passes very near Antarctica and because the circumference of the earth along a latitude line there is so short, the airplane was fast enough to follow the sun for some hours.
made a flight around the Globe. With his GPS device he recorded the whole flight. This video is about the flight from Sydney to Johannesburg. Because the#219 | 10/8/2021 | Author: Earth Is Life | Type: Youtube | Keywords: Direct Flight, Zeiza, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Darwin, Australia, Antarctica
This direct flight over 9,225 miles (GC route 9,115 miles) took 17 hours 50 minutes, which gives an average speed of 450 kt (517.3 mph). The flight departed direction south, passed over Antarctica and arrived from the south at Darwin. The wohle flight was tracked and recorded on flightradar24.
On a flat earth, using the Gleason map, the shortest distance would go over the North Pole and the distance would be an unreachable 15,648 miles and would take 30 hours 37 minutes flying at a speed of 450 kt.
Note: 450 kt is relatively slow. The flight had an average head wind of 50 kt, which gives a TAS of 500 kt.
