Bi-Polar Model
The Bi-Polar Model is a model of the earth which was first devised by Lady Blount's Universal Zetetic Society in the early twentieth century after the discovery of the South Pole. This model features two poles and an Antarctic continent. An 'Ice Wall' still exists in this model, but it is not Antarctica. It is assumed that beyond the rays of the sun the waters will naturally freeze.
Maps
There are a wide variety of continental layout possibilities for Bi-Polar map. The continental layout is unknown and has not yet been fully researched due to ambiguities of jet streams, flight routing, and non-direct flights. The Bi-Polar model is sometimes illustrated with vertical circles, vertical ovals, or with a placeholder map.

Flat Earth proponent Sandokhan is credited with creating the most common Bi-Polar map layout.
Circumnavigation involves traveling Eastwards or Westwards in relation to the magnetic field lines. On a Bi-Polar model the magnetic field lines would spread out from the North and South poles like the magnetic field lines on a bar magnet.
The needle of a compass would align with those magnetic field lines in the navigator's local area. Since East and West are at right angles to the field lines, moving East or West in relation to those field lines would take one in a circle around the North or South poles. This also implies that if one were to follow the magnetic field lines North or South that they would eventually get to the North South poles.
It should be noted that the magnetic field lines which are produced by a magnet always wrap around and connect to the opposite pole and that none travel forever into space.

Celestial Rotation
In the Bi-Polar model the stars are rotating in one direction in the Northern Hemiplane and in the opposite direction in the Southern Hemiplane, like a set of interlocking gears.
Eastward Sunrise
Q. How the sun can rise from near the east and set from near the west under this configuration.
A. An answer to this query is that it may be similar to its operation to the explanation of the standard model. When we observe the sun, we are observing its projection. The sun which is seen is a projection upon the atmolayer and local to each observer.
As the image of the sun travels along your latitude line to you, it may appears from an eastwardly direction. For additional details see: Equinox - A Flat Earth Equinox
