The gravitational pull of the earth keeps you on the ground no matter where you go. It is impossible to "fall off the Earth" because the attraction everywhere is toward the center of the Earth.
Wherever you are on the planet, the sky is 'up' and the earth is 'down' from your perspective. It's only on maps and globes that it looks like you might be in danger of 'falling off'.
*This same gravitational pull is what keeps the Moon, and space satellites, in their orbits no matter where they are around the planet.
No, you do not feel upside down when you stand on the Antarctic continent.
This is a Northern Hemisphere-based notion.
Earth's gravity keeps you standing upright wherever you go on the planet.
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you may believe that Antarctica -- and everything south of the Equator -- should be 'upside down'.
However, no location on earth is truly 'upside down' -- although it may appear to be that way on maps and globes.
