A sign on a Dunedin beach claiming to prove the Earth is flat has gone viral.

Dunedin man Stephen Voss was out for a walk when he spotted the sign on St Kilda.

The sign seems to claim that the fact that we say "sea level" and not "sea curve" is proof that the Earth is flat.

It urges people to do further research on YouTube, in particular a video titled "200 Flat Earth Proofs", a 2-hour long video that claims to prove the earth is flat.

Voss posted the photo of the sign to Facebook, saying "it appears the flat earth society have infiltrated St Kilda".

Spotted on our walk to Lawyers Head this afternoon, it appears that the flat earth society have infiltrated St Kilda. Funny how they equate doing research with watching YouTube videos!

"Funny how they equate doing research with watching YouTube videos," he added.

The majority of the comments on Voss' post mocked the flat earth theory, while a few admitted to sharing the belief conveyed on the sign.
