A mountain in Antarctica, often called the "Antarctic Pyramid," continues to capture global attention in 2025. Measuring 1,267 meters, this snow-covered peak's symmetrical appearance has sparked various theories, from lost civilizations to alien construction. However, scientists confirm it is a nunatak, a mountain peak formed by natural processes protruding from glaciers in the Ellsworth Mountains.
Geological experts explain that the pyramid shape results from millions of years of erosion by ice, wind, and extreme climate cycles. The freeze-thaw process, where water seeps into rock crevices, freezes, and expands, has gradually sculpted the mountain's distinct form. The coordinates of this natural wonder are 79°58'39''S and 81°57'32''W.
The mountain's fame grew with early British expeditions between 1910 and 1913, further amplified by satellite images from 2016 onwards. Despite speculation, no archaeological evidence supports claims of lost civilizations or extraterrestrial bases. The "Antarctic Pyramid" remains a testament to nature's artistry, drawing interest for its unique geological formation rather than any human or alien intervention.
