If I understand correctly, the "standard" theory is that the edges are walls of ice in Antarctica. Rather than the ocean surrounding Antarctica, it is Antarctica that surrounds the ocean that surrounds all the rest of the land.

As for what is beyond the walls of ice... That's for another rocket to find out.

We all know that beyond the wall of ice is the Night King and the army of the dead.
