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 Earths 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.

Popped into my head as soon as I read the thread title.....
“Way down, below the ocean is where I wanna be, She may be!”
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
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.
MY GOD
IT’S A HUUUUUUUUUUGE
play for grant money
Way down, below the ocean is where I wanna be, She may be!
Hail Atlantis! Heard an interview with Donovan a few months ago, darn interesting.
If Adrienne Barbeau is down there, it’s definitely worth looking into.
It’s called Rock in Mountain Form
“And in the first Aliens vs. Predator movie.”
Yes. “AVP.” Embarrasingly, I admit to liking that movie.
I think this is out of Aliens vs Predators.
World’s largest pool of liberal tears?
