You asked "What's in Antarctica?" in the title of this thread and the replies all suggest that it is a geologic formation, including the "spire". But you then freak out when others suggest that it's just a natural formation? Why even post something like this if you don't want to accept the answers?
The fact that you claim to be seeing something that "almost" looks like and ICBM makes me think you must be the one smoking something but I'll leave it go at that. I mean. you stated that ""UFO theorists run their imaginations wild" but your claiming that there is something in that hole in a remote part of Antarctica that looks to you "almost" like an intercontinetal balllistic missle is exactly the same kind of runaway imagination.
But FYI no! "ALMOST" is not the operative word,
ICBM is. "ALMOST" is an
adverb while the abbreviation ICBM is a
noun, the actual subject and operative word of your statement. Maybe you should study up on how English language sentence structure works.
But again, why even mention an ICBM in the first place? That's the problem with people posting dumb speculations about stuff they find on the internet. Just suggesting the concept of an "ICBM" sticking out of a hole in the ground in Antarctica is part and parcel with the conspiracy mentality that is ruining intelligent discourse these days.
Oh, wait! It only "
almost" looks like and ICBM.
That "almost" gets a conspiracy theorist off the hook, doesn't it?
FWIW, ICBMs would never be left exposed to the harsh elements in a hole in the ground in Antarctica. ICBMs are housed in silos with concrete and steel covers over them. But, hey, why let common sense get in the way here when raising
hebetudinous questions about a fuzzy image of a hole in the ground in a remote antarctic location that you happen to have found on Google Earth.
This whole thread is really kind of silly at this point because the explanation is so entirely mundane. The object in the Google Earth imagery is nothing more that a lava tube or caldera with some sort of spire, pinnacle or even perhaps a hoodoo (earth piilar) inside it.
