Tell that to Magellan, who went around the Earth 500 years ago. No Hollywood back then. Too many people have gone around it since, by sea, by air, and in orbit. That in itself is conclusive. Photos are just a record of the fact.
Your only "research" is to have remained ignorant and wiped your mind free of any actual knowledge of the subject. You have burrowed yourself into the depth of a cult. And, as a cultist, you are impossible to have a conversation with.
Easy. (1) mistaken calculation, and (2) if he followed the coastline, coastlines are convoluted and can be extremely long. Nobody endorses Cook's number today. Magellan traveled more than 24,000 miles because he did not follow a straight course (had to sail around the tip of South America, for example).

Captain Cook went around Antarctica and estimated it was over 60,000 miles explain that on a ball with a circumference of only 24,000.

They went in a circle. Doesn’t mean they are on a ball. North Pole is in the center.
