In East Antarctica, just southeast of Japanese research outpost Showa Station, eagle-eyed users spotted a mysterious \u201cdoorway,\u201d which has become the topic of wild theories online, with some speculating that it\u2019s Bigfoot\u2019s vacation home or a marooned shuttle craft from \u201cStar Trek.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Reddit user who noticed the ominous structure at the coordinates 69\u00b000\u201950\u2033S 39\u00b036\u201922\u2033E simply asked, \u201cM\u1d00ssive door in Antarctica?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"Rectangular<\/p>\n

The doorway has been the topic of fantastical theories online. Google \/ SWNS<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a blown-off Boeing door,\u201d one person suggested, a reference to a shocking midair mishap last January, with another jokingly asking, \u201cWonder if they get door dash there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Google<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWhat would we do without the conspiracy theorists?\u201d John Smellie, a professor and volcanologist at the University of Leicester, joked to the Daily Mail regarding the many suggestions offered.<\/p>\n

But scientists have revealed what they believe the structure really is \u2014 and it\u2019s not nearly as exciting as any Reddit theses.<\/p>\n

\"Rectangular<\/p>\n

A Reddit user noticed the ominous door at the coordinates 69\u00b000\u201950\u2033S 39\u00b036\u201922\u2033E. Google \/ SWNS<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After looking at the coordinates on Google Earth Pro and seeing historical imagery, Bethan Davies, a professor of glaciology at the University of Newcastle, told the publication that the mysterious doorway \u201cis in an area of fast sea ice \u2026 just offshore of the coast\u201d that is littered with \u201ca series of islands\u201d where shallow water exists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an iceberg that became grounded and is now stuck and melting out [in place],\u201d Davies explained. \u201cYou can see many other icebergs in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"deneme:<\/p>\n

Professor Martin Siegert, co-director of the Imperial College London\u2019s Grantham Ins\u0442\u03b9\u0442ute on Climate Change and the Environment, agreed with Davies, telling the outlet: \u201cThis is simply ice flow around a solid subglacial obstacle, influenced also by melting and re-freezing of ice and by katabatic winds.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe ice is quite thin here, as evidenced by other outcrops of rock nearby, so the influence of the bed on ice flow will be strong,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s an interesting pattern, but not unusual or surprising glaciologically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smellie added that it looked \u201clike a short rocky ridge outcrop has been exhumed due to a lowering of the ice, explaining that the protrusion \u201cforms the \u2018top\u2019 of the \u2018doorway.\u2019 And there are two prominent parallel snow tails forming the sides of the \u2018doorway.\u2019 The snow tails show you the orientation of the predominant wind direction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
