The claim

Our conclusion
The map is a creative project and should not be seen as scientific evidence of a flat earth.
, a flat earth world map showing an unusual representation of the Earth was uploaded to the online art platform DeviantArt THE WORLD BEYOND THE ICE WALL 3.0 by Ohawhewhe on DeviantArt. The continents are arranged differently and are surrounded by an icy ring that supposedly represents Antarctica.
This depiction sparked discussions on social media, particularly on TikTok #flat earth#trending #old map and Facebook. Some users mistakenly believed it was proof of the flat earth theory.

Scientific facts about the shape of the earth
The Earth is not a flat disk, but an irregular ellipse. This is confirmed by scientific evidence and satellite data. NASA describes the Earth as an imperfect sphere. Additionally, as part of the Copernicus program, the European Union has used satellite data to create a detailed map of Antarctica , which clearly shows that it is a continent in the southern hemisphere and does not surround the Earth.
