And as always, another curious image is found on Google Maps, but very different: a “secret door” was found in Antarctica by Google Maps users!

This information appeared on a Reddit profile that published this image and after that, it stirred the imagination of all internet users. Located southeast of Showa Station, monitored by Japan, the structure recorded via satellite is a rectangular block of ice, whose effect on the accumulation of snow generates a curious trail. Posted on forums dedicated to conspiracies, the find gained fame as being a secret door to something, perhaps “alien”. Source

What is the solution to this mystery?

Evidence that it’s just ice isn’t hard to find — Just northwest of the supposed icy threshold, other similar blocks of ice can be seen, making the same pattern of snow and shadows as their famous sibling.

After looking at the coordinates on Google Earth Pro and looking at historical imagery, Bethan Davies, a professor of glaciology at Newcastle University, told the publication that the mysterious door “is in an area of fast sea ice… close to the coast” that is dotted with “a series of islands” where there is shallow water.“This is an iceberg that has become grounded and is now stuck and melting [in place],” Davies explained. “You can see many other icebergs in the area.”Professor Martin Siegert, co-director of the Grantham Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at Imperial College London, agreed with Davies, telling the outlet: “This is simply an ice flow around a solid subglacial obstacle, influenced also by melting and refreezing of the ice and by katabatic winds.

Among the theories that this poet is some kind of extraterrestrial, the most likely is that she is just a block of ice – and nothing more 😉
