Someone made a comment about Antarctic islands being named after Covid variants a ways back, but while I was poking around on Google Earth the other day I noticed a pattern on the ocean floor by a certain family name near Alexander Island. Take a look and let me know what you think these divots/hills might be. Appears to be a 14 x 14 grid on the ocean floor, every 6 miles(??).

Sorry I’m rusty on posting a screenshot if someone can help.
The islands are named after the Greek alphabet, just like covid variants.
Things like delta, omicron, mu, etc are not unique to covid.
The spots you’re seeing are all over the planet. It’s artifact for the projection and warping necessary to display a sphere on a flat screen.
Some years ago, nn analogous defect in the ocean floor map led to speculation about the remains of Atlantis west of Gibraltar.
Probably just aliens again.
Interesting. I blame space aliens.
Where else have you seen them?
Granted, I don’t spend hours scanning Google Maps, but never seen anything like them, before.
Slightly possible it's an artifact of a side scanning sonar survey.
Plow traces in a x direction add data from plowing in a y direction and where the paths cross...
The earth i just a dirty giant golf ball.
Darn you!
The holes/divots are likely the result of fossil fuel exploration or mineralogical exploration. I recall from one of my classes a discussion of such.
As for covid variant names, I’ve been using covid names in my math homework for many years. Delta is a common one. Omega, too.
Obviously it’s a base under the sea built by the Pleiadeians. /sarcasm
I see Richard Nixon’s profile in the land mass.
Nonsense! The coastline is not a crooked!
My money would be on low quality data/algorithm. There are lines of such phantom structures in may areas where ships have passed over and sent in their data.
😎👍
Maybe it’s an area where the sea is often covered by ice flows or they don’t have a good topographic record of what the sea floor looks like. They know it’s uneven but don’t have a very exact representation, so they just put regularly spaced bumps or divots there.
WTH are all those underwater straight tracks southeast of South America?
This is just freaky.
