A perfect pyramid between ice, snow and sky
The Antarctica It hides many mysteries because it is an inhospitable territory, dominated by the almost perfect white of ice and snow. Its extreme climate makes much of it uninhabitable by people, but at the same time It is one of the most coveted places by scientists, who travel there to carry out all types of studies related to nature.

The pyramid lost in the snow in Antarctica attracted attention around the world.
On one of those trips to the Antarcticawhere several countries installed their military bases with the aim of promoting scientific knowledge on the white continent, mountains in the shape of pyramids They caught the attention of scientists because of their similarity to those of Egyptalthough more imperfect in their symmetry as they are natural formations.
Are “antarctic pyramids“are located at 1,219 meters high and are unique in the world of their kind. Visiting them is almost impossible, but the images that were spread of them in Google Earth They impact and travel the world.
What science says about the Antarctic pyramid
The formation that went viral on social networks appeared in the Ellsworth Mountains, the highest mountain range in the Antarcticawhich crosses part of the Argentine territory on the continent. It was originated by the strong storms and winds in the area, which gave it a form of pyramid to rock structures with a precise geometry, which makes them look like they were created by man.
In reality, beyond the strange theories that multiplied, these pyramids natural are known and are called Nunataks, geological formations of natural origin that were shaped thousands of years ago by nature.
The nunataks They are mountain peaks surrounded by an ice field, but, due to their shape pyramid, many consider that they are truly a sign of life alien on our planet. Scientists take them as a reference and even settle there temporarily and build permanent bases to study them.
The geologist at the German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam, Mitch Darcy, detailed for National Geographic that pyramid of the Antarctica It is part of a chain of mountains more than 400 km long, so it is not surprising that there are rocky peaks poking out of the ice.” In addition, he indicated that the shape is pure “coincidence.”
Network theories: extraterrestrial labor and unknown civilization
The contrast only increased people’s doubts, since the Egyptian pyramids They were built by man thousands of years ago as tombs for the pharaohs and required meticulous planning and human labor in the ancient desert. Egypt. What is a similar pyramid doing in the middle of the Antarctica?
The scientists’ explanations to many social media users were not enough. “How did they transfer the pyramids from egypt until the Antarcticawere the aliens“, was one of the messages multiplied in the social network X. Others developed the theory that some civilization native would have built these pyramids.
The reality is that the icy climate of the Antarctica It would have made a construction of this type impossible thousands of years ago, and even today it would be very difficult to do so with the technological advances available.
With the enigma of its origin solved, now the question is what secrets these could hold inside. pyramids of the Antarcticasince although it is not expected to find treasures or relics as in those of Egypt, Studying its internal composition could reveal the fascinating geological history of the region and the potential mineral resources present beneath its frozen surface.
