Google Maps was born with the intention of being a virtual map that would help users get from Point A to Point B in the best possible way and offering the different routes that, depending on the means of transportation used, best suit them. Over the years the app has added more tools and functions, and today this platform offers all kinds of information about the vast majority of streets in the world and the buildings and elements that are in them.
One of these functions that allow this is the satellite view of the map, which allows users to see a specific area as if they were “in the sky.” This tool has become a hobby for many users, since you can see anything you are looking for.
Normally you start by looking at your house and your street, but those who have been using this app for quite some time dedicate themselves to investigating all kinds of places in search of curious, funny or in some cases mysterious images. One of the ones that has created the most questions in recent weeks is one from Antarctica where users found what looks like a hidden door in the middle of nowhere.
The speculations did not take long to arrive, and with a lot of imagination numerous conspiracies of all kinds have emerged. People who believe it is the entrance to the center of the Earth, others who claim that it is a door of a plane that crashed there years ago, It belonged to the Japanese Showa base or that it is even the Yeti house doorthese mysterious images have sparked all kinds of theories and all of them were wrong.
All of these theories had flooded the Reddit profile that first discovered this mystery, and so much attention has made science have to jump in to nip these conspiracies in the bud. First it was the professor of glaciology at the University of Newcastle, Bethan Davies, who maintained in an interview with The New York Post that it was about “an iceberg that ran aground and is now stuck and melting in place. “Many other icebergs can be seen in the area.”
Soon Professor Martin Siegert, co-director of the Grantham Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at Imperial College London, supported this theory, stating that “it is simply a question of an ice flow around a solid subglacial obstacle, also influenced by the melting and refreezing of ice and by katabatic winds”.
“What looks like a gate in Antarctica is a short rocky outcrop of the ridge due to a receding ice. There are two parallel snow tails that form the sides of the ‘gate.’ “Those tails show the direction of the wind.”. the professor explained, settling the mystery of the supposed door in the middle of Antarctica.
