Video reply:
The thing is:
There are no mountains at the North Pole. In fact, at the geographical North Pole, the ocean is well over 3 miles deep.
The sun is traveling in the wrong direction. At the North Pole and in the northern hemisphere, in general, the sun moves across the sky from left to right. In the southern hemisphere the sun moves from right to left across the sky, as it does here. This is because the Earth is a rotating globe.
This time lapse was filmed on December 14th to 16th 2024 and posted, as you can see, on December 17th 2024. At that time, because we live on a tilted, rotating globe, the North Pole and almost all of the area north of the Arctic Circle was in 24-hour darkness.
All 9 participants in the Final Experiment were carrying GPS trackers. The readouts from all 9 of these trackers were displayed, in real time, on the Final Experiment website. They were tracked from their home countries to Punta Arenas, Chile. In Punta Arenas, they livestreamed, took and posted photos and videos. They then boarded a plane to Union Glacier in Antarctica.
The participants in the Final Experiment all appeared in live streams from Union Glacier in Antarctica. They took live questions from viewers, talked about recent news stories and read out recent sports results to show that they were live and couldn’t, therefore, have been in the Arctic, which was dark at that time.
The participants in the Final Experiment all boarded the same plane, which took them from Punta Arenas, Chile, to Union Glacier, Antarctica. That 4-hour flight was the most tracked flight on flightradar24 that day. It’s obviously not possible to fly for 4 hours from Punta Arenas Chile and arrive in the Arctic.
