In the early 1800s, the first explorers appeared in Antarctica and since then this continent has remained the most mysterious on the entire planet. Rumors about a secret base of the Third Reich, strange stories about missing expeditions and even legends about aliens... But what does this thick layer of ice actually hide?
In 2015, NASA scientists discovered a meteorite in Antarctica that fell thirteen thousand years ago. It turned out that he flew from Mars, and inside there were samples of microbes from the Red Planet.
Elongated skulls
During excavations in the Lapa'il region, archaeologists discovered elongated skulls. The discovery excited the entire scientific world: the unusual shape of the remains was nothing, because scientists believed that man had never been to Antarctica before.
Dinosaur remains
In the early 1990s, scientists were surprised to discover dinosaur remains in Antarctica. Archaeologists suggest that ancient creatures inhabited this continent approximately 200 million years ago.
Pyramids
On the territory of Antarctica there are several pyramids, the shape of which is identical to the Egyptian ones. There is a version about a certain proto-civilization that once mastered Antarctica and then settled throughout the world.
Fossils
In 2009, archaeologists found the remains of a strange egg-laying animal frozen in the ice, about the size of a modern cat. Interestingly, this species most likely survived global warming by migrating from Africa to Antarctica.
Bloody Falls
A stream of blood-red liquid pours out of the Taylor Glacier. In fact, of course, there is no blood here, and the unusual color of the water is due to its high copper content. The source of water is a lake several kilometers from the waterfall, completely covered with ice.
Airplane wreckage
There were three Canadians on board the plane that disappeared on September 11, 2013. The wreckage was only recently discovered on the slope of Mount Elizabeth. Most likely, the plane crashed into the mountain due to the fault of the pilot, who did not notice the snowy peak.
Centenary Whiskey
One of the amazing finds of the researchers was several boxes of century-old Scotch whiskey. Nothing is known about the taste of the drink: scientists decided not to open the bottles yet.
Creepy creature
At a depth of 342 meters, an American team of researchers stumbled upon a frightening (but, fortunately, dead) creature that was almost impossible to identify. A retractable mouth, a bony crest and a very strange structure of the whole body.
Lake under the glacier
Researchers drilled a hole 700 meters deep on the Ross Glacier, under which an underground lake was discovered. Amazingly, a thick layer of ice, where there was never light, hid a real reserve: small fish, jellyfish and anemones.
This southern continent, covered with a kilometer layer of ice, was not always like this. But it’s not customary to talk about this. Moreover, talk about the secrets of Antarctica. They are simply hidden from us.
There is a time portal in Antarctica
A group of researchers from the USA and Great Britain accidentally stumbled upon a mind-blowing discovery in Antarctica. While working on a joint weather research project, the team witnessed the emergence of rotating time vortices.
US physicist Marianne McLane allegedly testified that she and her colleagues saw a “rotating gray fog” in the sky above their heads. They initially did not attach much importance to this, qualifying the phenomenon as an episode of a polar storm.
However, despite the gusts of wind and fast-moving clouds overhead, the strangely swirling gray mist remained motionless. Deciding to investigate the strange phenomenon, the group took one of their weather balloons and mounted a meteorological instrument on it to obtain data on temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed, as well as a scientific chronometer to record time records.
After connecting the ball's cable to the winch, they released it. The balloon and instrument flew up and were immediately swallowed up by a strange whirlwind. Using a winch, they pulled him back out with great difficulty, as if someone was holding him there by force. When they checked the data received, they were stunned by the chronometer readings. It reflected a date many years ago: January 27, 1965. McClain claimed that the experiment was repeated several times with the same result.
Later, according to her, the contents of the entire episode were classified and received the code name “The Time Gate” in military intelligence documents.
Mysterious glow from under the ice of Lake Vostok
The incredible reports have confused the governments of those countries whose observation stations operated in Antarctica. Scientists panicked about strong light sources under the ice. It was the tone of the radiograms that confused me the most . Antarctic observers were worried about their safety, as if they were, in fact, seriously threatened by something, and urgent measures were required. Reports of not only light but also sound anomalies were received from stations located in the area of the subglacial Lake Vostok.
Scientists discovered freshwater lakes under the ice shell of Antarctica in 1996. Lake Vostok is located under 4 kilometers of ice and never freezes. The results of thermal scanning showed that the water temperature in the lake is quite high - from 10 to 18 degrees Celsius. This means that there is some kind of heat source to heat it. Moreover, during the study, data was obtained that between the water surface of the lake and the ice dome there is an empty cavity, about 800 m high. A space in which almost ideal conditions for life are created. Did nature work this way or are these the fruits of someone’s conscious efforts?
Another mysterious circumstance is abnormally high magnetic activity near the southeastern shore of the lake. Her sources are also unknown. Information about the results of the latest research on Lake Vostok is classified. In 2007, drilling was suspended at a depth of 3665 m. It resumed years later and on January 5, 2012, at the Vostok station in Antarctica, our scientists, at a depth of 3768 m, completed drilling and reached the surface of the subglacial lake. Then they solemnly presented a flask of water to the president of the country and again there was silence.
An unknown mechanism was found in Antarctica
Until 2000, on the American side, an international team of scientists was engaged in research on the lake, but then the US National Security Administration took over the reins. NASA media relations spokeswoman Deborah Schingteller said that the replacement was dictated by national security considerations. Immediately after these words, one of the NASA managers took a place in front of the microphone, clarifying that “the research was interrupted to ensure the ecological safety of the environment.” Since then, none of the journalists have been able to contact Deborah Schingteller and find out what kind of safety she meant .
There was a lot of talk that back in 2001, the United States sent an expedition to the area where the anomaly was discovered, equipped with drilling rigs and heavy equipment for excavation. They were confirmed in the book of the American researcher Terence Ame “Secrets of the Universe. 25 true stories from time and space."
In April 2001 American spy satellite discovered an ancient structure or apparatus, which lay trapped within miles of cruel Antarctic ice. A secret excavation project for the site was launched immediately following the discovery.
News of increased US activity in Antarctica has reached the ears of the European elite.
"If this is something that the US military has built in the depths, then they are violating the international Antarctic Treaties," the aide said. Nicole Fontaine, then Speaker of the European Parliament. - If not, then this is something that has existed for at least 12 thousand years, that’s how long ice has covered Antarctica. Then this can be called one of the oldest artificial structures on the planet. The Pentagon must heed calls from Congress and reveal what is being hidden."
The US federal government and the Pentagon ignored the calls.
Some military observers claimed that robotic devices were immediately sent to the South Pole. There have been speculations that the US Air Force even transported a huge nuclear tunnel-builder to the secret C5 base in Antarctica.
News soon emerged of covert and urgent medical care being provided to some unnamed members of the Arctic expedition. As a result, they were evacuated in the depths of the Antarctic winter. There were no official comments.
The magnetic anomaly on Lake Vostok, after this incident, intensified significantly. Russian scientists who observed it were shocked and puzzled.
Meanwhile, the US military airfield continued to hum with activity, with flights coming and going to Antarctica at a breakneck pace. Heavy equipment, quite exotic, appeared on the gloomy Antarctic glaciers.
When the American and European media put a lot of pressure on the American government and military to get at least some plausible information, the September 11 terrorist attack occurs... The mysterious events in Antarctica were forgotten for a long time.
Scant information has leaked to the press that in December 2006, the US Air Force, as part of Operation Deep Freeze, carried out large-scale parachute landing of 40 tons of cargo straight to the South Pole with the help of heavy military transport C-17 Globemaster III...

The most mysterious continent on Earth attracts researchers, discoverers and even lovers of conspiracy theories. The study of Antarctica clearly demonstrates that science is being created before our eyes. Amazing discoveries and finds amaze not only ordinary people, but also prominent scientists: a “bloody” waterfall, a Martian meteorite, fossils and even a huge lake were hidden in the ice for many millennia.
website I decided to find out what discoveries modern scientists have made and what conspiracy theorists are talking about when it comes to Antarctica.
Martian meteorite with traces of life
The Martian meteorite we know as Allan Hills 84001 was found in the Allan Hills of Antarctica on December 27, 1984. This discovery caused widespread public outcry due to the fact that fossilized microscopic structures that could be bacteria were found on the surface of the meteorite. The question of the extraterrestrial origin of bacteria is still open, but it is supported by the fact that the size of the structures found is 20–100 nanometers in diameter, which is much smaller than any form of cellular life known to us.
ALH 84001 is also unique in that, according to research data, it broke away from its home planet 4 billion years ago, when there was still liquid water there, while the rest of the meteorites found on Earth no longer belong to the era of “wet” Mars.
Lake under four kilometers of ice
One of the largest geographical discoveries of the 20th century is the subglacial Lake Vostok, which was discovered in Antarctica. The most amazing thing about this find is that it was hidden under a layer of ice 4 km thick. Scientists are confident that the lake was cut off from the outside world by a glacier for several million years.
The size of the East is amazing: the total area of the lake is about 16,000 square meters. km, and the depth can reach 1,200 m. Most likely, it remains unfrozen due to underground geothermal springs. Drilling the well was a complex and lengthy process; it began in 1989, was suspended in 1999 (due to fears of polluting the unique ecosystem) and returned to it only in 2006, to be completed in 2013.
Since 2015, an active stage of studying the lake began. In the water sample, scientists found microorganisms, one of which was of an unknown species. But these were samples from the surface, the most interesting thing will begin when they can get samples from the bottom, where, according to assumptions, the water is heated by thermal springs and is suitable for life. Perhaps scientists will soon be able to find unprecedented species of creatures. Who knows how evolution developed in the closed ecosystem of the East.
Burnt forest
Scientists have guessed that Antarctica was once a green continent since the time of the first expeditions to the new land. However, they recently made a discovery that has greatly puzzled modern science: over and over again, burnt and petrified forests are found in different areas of Antarctica, which not only prove the theory of a “green Antarctica”, but also pose a new task for scientists - to determine what happened to the forest.
A study of the fossils has revealed severe levels of fire damage, suggesting that the ancient forests died around 250 million years ago in a massive fire that could have been caused by a meteorite or volcanic activity. Research on this issue is still ongoing.
91 volcanoes under ice
Just recently, scientists discovered a ridge of volcanoes hidden under the ice in Antarctica. It can lay claim to the title of the largest ridge in the world, since it has 91 volcanoes. How many of them are active is still a mystery, because they are hidden under a glacier, the thickness of which in some places reaches 2 km. The region was explored using radars and other special equipment.
One of the researchers, Robert Bingham, is confident that other volcanoes may be hidden at the bottom of the sea under the ice shelf, which could turn Antarctica into the region with the highest concentration of volcanoes. Scientists are especially concerned now with the question of how a potential eruption could affect the melting of ice and what it threatens.
Bloody Falls
Can you imagine what Griffith Taylor experienced when he first discovered Bloody Falls in 1911? The red stream pouring out of the snow-white glacier will terrify anyone. True, the scientist pulled himself together and suggested that the red color of the water was colored by algae, miraculously preserved in the glacier.
For a long time, Bloody Falls remained a mystery that could only be solved in the 21st century. Water samples from the glacier and other studies showed that the water came from a subglacial lake that had been completely isolated for a long time. The microorganisms inhabiting it were able to adapt to the absence of light and oxygen and, in the process of evolution, began to receive vital energy by reducing sulfates dissolved in water to sulfites.
This amazing natural phenomenon allows scientists to speculate that life in the same form could have survived on other planets.
Dinosaurs of Antarctica
Scientists found the first dinosaur remains in Antarctica in 1986, and in 2006 they managed to repeat the discovery. But we were talking about single copies. But in 2016, an expedition on James Ross Island made an unprecedented catch: in total, more than a ton of dinosaur remains were found.
This amount of material for detailed analysis is a good opportunity to shed light on the extinction of dinosaurs. Active work is now underway on the remains obtained. Some of the samples are more than 71 million years old. Detailed data on the species is not yet available, but it is already known that some bones belong to plesiosaurs and mesosaurs, others to smaller birds and even ducks from the late Cretaceous period.
Hoaxes and falsifications
Antarctica is shrouded in many myths, various hoaxes and conspiracy theories are constantly growing around the research of the continent, and falsifications that are quite convincing at first glance are leaking online every now and then, telling about amazing and incredible discoveries that could change the way we look at modern science.
And here are the most popular ones.
- Pyramids in Antarctica
Since 2013, there have been numerous reports circulating on the Internet that in Antarctica, scientists have found a copy of the Egyptian pyramids with the same parameters and layout. As evidence, photographs of one of the pyramids and its satellite images are provided. The “sensational” news caused a storm of discussion and speculation, and artificial deformation of skulls, which was widespread in ancient times.
- UFO landing
People who have Google Maps and a lot of free time recently discovered a strange object in Antarctica, located at coordinates 54°39'44.62"S and 36°11'42.47"W. The discovery unexpectedly went viral on the Internet, I didn’t write about it maybe lazy, but the original roller already more than 3 million views.
There have been a variety of assumptions about the nature of the object, but the most popular version is that a UFO landed in South Georgia. Scientists were extremely skeptical about the “discovery”: they are sure that the mysterious sliding “alien ship” is nothing more than an ordinary block of ice. But this doesn’t stop conspiracy theorists.
Which find surprised you the most?
