Despite us having gone to other planets, there’s still quite a lot that we don’t know about our own planet. And when it comes to the vast tundra of Antarctica, most of the area is so hard to navigate that we’ve barely managed to map and investigate most of it. And since the internet is a thing, this had led to some downright wacky conspiracy theories about Antarctica.
Let’s take a look at some of the best ones. Strap in, it’s gonna be quite a ride.
Ancient Civilization
After finding pictures on Google Earth (as you do) of something that looked like a man-made structure, people all over the internet started plotting that Antarctica would be home to an ancient civilization. The remnants of that civilization would be covered in heaps of snow, naturally.
Hollow Earth Theory
The Hollow Earth Theory suggests that our planet is in fact hollow and there’s another civilization living under the planet’s surface. An entrance to this subterranean part of Earth would – naturally – be found in the most gruesomely uninhabitable parts of Antarctica.
