White Cliffs of Dover (UK) seen from France - super clear view!

[@Latbirget]

I've never seen that view from Calais and I had no idea the cliffs were so visible until this week! I've stood on the top of the cliffs at St Margaret's Bay a couple of times but I haven't been able to see France, maybe too cloudy. My phone provider always sends a text welcoming me to France when I stand on the cliffs though!

[@Wallace4MVP]

haha thats funny that it sends you a text

[@ashleyalexander7388]

Welcome to france :P

[@timburr4453]

On clear nights you can absolutely see the lights of Dover as well. Seen it many a time

[@nigeh5326]

Visited Cap Gris Nez about 15 years ago and from where the large monument is caught a fleeting view of England through the mist. Never seen it clearly in daylight although at night I have seen the lights of the English coast and cars driving.

[@underground1019]

Wow that’s really clear! On the day I went to Cap Gris Nez they were just a spec in the distance! I think it really has to do with the angle of the Sun.

[@DontTellGus]

Underground101 oh really? Well I had really good weather conditions on that day. I guess with a nice zoom camera you could even see the cars driving from there 😁

[@ryanmccallum8191]

@@DontTellGus sounds daft but it's true. I used to spend alot of time in Dover and observe France from the coastline. If you go after 9pm in around October November when it's a clear crispy cold night (the type that you know is going to produce a frost in the morning) you can see the headlights of cars driving around calais. To the point where you could probably tell the make of the car and the size of it. It's a really bizarre thing to see

[@underground1019]

Ryan McCallum Surely you would need binoculars to tell the types of cars though!

Scary to think that we spent 4 years from 1940-1944 with Hitler’s armies so close to us......and people’s main worry these days is that their home internet goes down. It certainly puts things into perspective.

I might be making myself look like a fool right now but with the earth’s curvature measuring at 0.67feet per mile this should surly not be visible? I’m more then happy to be corrected

[@Paul2377]

But remember this person is high up on cliffs and looking towards cliffs on the other side. It’s the height that gives the vantage point.

[@ClawedAsh]

It's the height of the cliffs that makes it possible, both the Calais area of France and Cliffs of Dover are notably high

[@helicoptersrkool]

@@Paul2377 Nope. That's guess work to try and make sense of something that contradicts what you've believed all your life. On a clear day you can still see it's entire height, tip to base from 6 feet above see level in the same location. You should only be able to see about 50 feet of it's peak.....on a ball earth that is.

[@helicoptersrkool]

@@ClawedAsh You can see it's entirety, top to base from sea level. Curved earth would only show top 50 feet of the cliffs, the rest would be hidden behind curve obstruction. As you can see, there is no earth curve between Calais and Dover which contradicts what you've been taught in school.

[@ClawedAsh]

@@helicoptersrkool You're a Flat Eather, your opinion is wrong.

[@Science_of_Mind_Magnet]

Curve calculator says on 42.5 kilometers distance there should be a curvature, that hides an Objekt of exact 110meters, If you are 2 Meters above ground. The cliffs are about 110meters. The people are standing more than 2meters above the SEA Level, but still, With 12meters above the ground, you should have up to 71meters of the object Hidden. There is clearly No refraction or mirroring or fata Morgana, you See the cliffs clear and right as rain. Think about it people.😉🐰😁😅👍💫 Where ist the curvature?

[@oimamused1]

He is atop the cliff at Cap Gris-Nez in the Calais region. Height: 102 feet. Also only 20 miles to Dover, not "25+" Flat earthers lie to make evidence fit their delusion. Let's do the calculator with the proper entries, shall we?

Okay then tell me: why do planes fly to Asian westbound from LA but eastbound from the East coast or even better: Europe? If the Earth is flat, how is flying Westward going faster than flying eastward from LA/USA Westcoast? You think planes just say they fly West when in reality they would fly West on takeoff, then turn over the ocean south to southeast and the proceed somewhere where there is mostly only ocean yet still flying eastward just to keep up the illusion of a flat earth? Because in the view of FE, there is a wall or whatever at the ends so we don't fall off but why has nobody ever seen that wall? Because every single government, pilots, captains of every single boat in existence hold on to the conspiracies? What for? What is the purpose and please come with more than "to keep the people asleep and they are easier tricked into smaller conspiracies ". I am not at all saying no government lies. I love in a country where thousands of parents lost everything including their kids over alleged fraud over extra financial support. Some families after ten years of knowing this whole thing had been a huge ass wrong calculation by our IRS STILL suffer, have not gotten any compensation of even had their kids back despite it being already public that they never committed the fraud. So no, I am not naive to think they always want the best for us. But I am genuinely curious how my example and questions about how many people must commit to the conspiracy fit into Flat Earth-theories. Also, are all other planets flat then too? If they are, why would only Earth be flat if every known entity in the universe so far is round/ a globe of some sorts? Or do we also just see the surface and those are actually flat as well?

Suddenly makes a lot of sense that people on the continent named Britain “Albion”, hypothesised to derive from a root meaning “white”. The first thing anyone observing the place from Europe would have noticed would have been its apparent colour.

Interesting comment on Quora from an AI bot : The claim that you can see Dover, England from Calais, France is a common misconception. The Strait of Dover, which separates the two countries, is about 21 miles (34 kilometers) wide at its narrowest point. Due to the curvature of the Earth, you cannot see Dover from Calais with the naked eye because the distance is too great and the Earth's surface is not perfectly flat......
