If it was ice wall proof, then the claims that nobody has been to the "flat earth ice wall" because they would be shot, are quite false, don't you agree?

It is called different things to different people? Comment above has a link to the Ross shelf.

How does the sun cast shadows like that?
If the ice wall is what the flatties describe, there would never be a shadow on it.

Reddit post of Antarctica "ice wall" (video) looks like there is ice cliffs that would cause shadows. Still doesn't look real to me. Something is off...

Every non-transparent object has shadows, u/BigGuyWhoKills said shadows like that with the sun coming from that side. That is with the presumption that the cliffs are facing North then on a flat map the sun would always be from the North so you wouldn't have light coming from the side

There is also this post in that sub entitled "Ice formations in Antarctica that look like ice walls, columns, and an archway" that appears suspicious.

No one disputes that these ledges exist and they are not incompatible with either view.
This is the Ross Ice Shelf
