Massive ‘anomaly’ lurks beneath ice in Antarctica

Scientists believe a massive object that could change our understanding of history is hidden beneath the Antarctic ice.

The huge and mysterious “anomaly” is thought to be lurking beneath the frozen wastes of an area called Wilkes Land. The area is 151 miles across and has a minimum depth of about 2,700 feet.

Some researchers believe it is the remains of a truly massive asteroid more than twice the size of the Chicxulub space rock that wiped out the dinosaurs.

If this explanation is true, it could mean this killer asteroid caused the Permian-Triassic extinction event, which killed 96 percent of Earth’s sea creatures and up to 70 percent of the vertebrate organisms living on land.

However, the wilder minds of the internet have come up with their own theories, with some conspiracy theorists claiming it could be a massive UFO base or a portal to a mysterious underworld called the Hollow Earth.

It’s the Swamp Thing (straight from it’s decades long appearance in DC).

There’s a good John Carpenter documentary on this from the early 80s

Antartic? Don’t disturb it. It’s holding our Earth upright. The planet might fall over on it’s side if disturbed, crushing Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Europe. Hmmn, never mind.

Where do whale farts go? I’ll bet that’s where they go.

I wonder how much a frozen whale fart weighs?

Did I just hijack the thread?

5.56mm

I suspect there’s something as large as a continent under the ice at the South Pole

So, is it going to be a small continent, or a large island? FWIW, my own calculations would tend to corroborate your hypothesis. However,
we have a preliminary indication;
but it is an ongoing investigation
So we won't comment on the situation
until we have further information.

Believe it or not, that is a quote from the city of Philadelphia commissioner of transportation on the morning of the high speed train derailment there a couple of years ago.

I tend to notice things like that.

If Adrienne Barbeau is down there, it’s definitely worth looking into.

“And in the first “Aliens vs. Predator” movie.”

Yes. “AVP.” Embarrasingly, I admit to liking that movie.
