Antarctica (/ænˈtɑːrtɪkə/ or /ænˈtɑːrktɪkə/ (
listen))[note 1] is Earth's southernmost continent. It contains the geographic South Pole and is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14,200,000 square kilometres (5,500,000 square miles), it is the fifth-largest continent and nearly twice the size of Australia. It is by far the least populated continent, with around 5,000 people in the summer and around 1,000 in the winter. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages 1.9 km (1.2 mi; 6,200 ft) in thickness.
European maps continued to show this hypothetical land until Captain James Cook's ships, HMS Resolution and Adventure, crossed the Antarctic Circle on 17 January 1773, in December 1773 and again in January 1774.[23] Cook came within about 120 km (75 mi) of the Antarctic coast before retreating in the face of field ice in January 1773.[24] In 1775, Cook called the existence of a polar continent "probable" and in another copy of his journal he wrote: " firmly believe it and it's more than probable that we have seen a part of it".[25]
According to various organisations (the National Science Foundation,[26] NASA,[27] the University of California, San Diego,[28] the Russian State Museum of the Arctic and Antarctic,[29] among others),[30][31] ships captained by three men sighted Antarctica or its ice shelf in 1820: Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, a captain in the Imperial Russian Navy, Edward Bransfield, a captain in the Royal Navy, and Nathaniel Palmer, an American sealer.[32]

The island was sighted from a distance by the French Antarctic Expedition (c1908-1910), and named by Charcot in honour of Baron Edouard de Rothschild (1868-1949), head of the Rothschild banking family of France and president of de Rothschild Frères.

It's the most isolated place on Earth, where's there's nothing but ice and the occasional mass of penguins.
Yet there is a 22km long blur in the middle of the Antarctic ice shield, about halfway between Australia and Madagascar.
Whatever is being hidden is a complete mystery. It is literally thousands of kilometres from anywhere.
It appears to be in territory claimed by Australia.
However, Russia and the United States have built research facilities in other countries' territorial claims.

A bizarre blacked-out structure in Antarctica has sparked a frenzy of debate about a possible top-secret government cover-up - or a subterranean alien base. The mysterious footage released on YouTube conspiracy page thirdphaseofmoon showed a row of identical structures lined up in Antartica on Google Earth. The site was claimed to be located at 75° 0'46.98"S 0° 4'52.71”E coordinates.

News surfaced recently of a fitness tracker app reportedly revealing the location of US military bases around the world.
The Global Heat Map, published by GPS tracking company Strava, unveiled mysterious activity from the likes of Somalia to Yemen.
But, in the most bizarre of “discoveries” to date, one viewer claims to have found an underground Government base in the South Pole.
Tyler Glockner – of YouTube channel SecureTeam10 – uploaded footage using the software, appearing to show heat signatures from an isolated location in Antarctica.
“We have a new area of Antarctica that was discovered where – in the middle of nowhere – we had one of these heat maps,” he said.
“We can obviously see the outline of what looks like a multi-level building, which obviously people who are wearing tracking devices – likely Government employees – have been walking around every single day.”

New Swabia (Norwegian and German: Neuschwabenland) was a disputed Antarctic claim by Nazi Germany within the Norwegian territorial claim of Queen Maud Land and is now a cartographic name sometimes given to an area of Antarctica between 20°E and 10°W in Queen Maud Land.[citation needed] New Swabia was explored by Germany in early 1939 and named after that expedition's ship, Schwabenland, itself named after the German region of Swabia.[1][2]

Heat map uncovers ‘secret underground government base’ in Antarctica
A MYSTERIOUS heat map has revealed a top-secret multi-level government base hidden beneath Antarctica, according to a renowned conspiracy theorist.
