I'm finding all types of crap. Stonehenge in Anarctica? Possible Sumarine port?

Stonehenge?

66°33'7.10"S
99°52'7.90"E

Port?
66°33'3.00"S
99°52'6.98"E

I have lots more but will not post now.

I zoomed in really deep and found this:

Wow. Kenny from South Park is there. Cool. What is this ring?
89°59'60.00"S
87°41'0.13"E

I happen to study volcanoes in college and I have visited a lot of basalt lava tubes. These pictures look to be nothing more than lava tubes, even the metallic looking one because basalt will look very shiny and metallic for a very long time just like that.

It is featured with a different color than the material it is buried in because that material probably came from a cinder cone eruption after the initial basalt eruption. This would explain the redish color of the surrounding material.

I did not see any indication that suggest unrest because there appears to be no gas emissions coming from these vents. This is probably a single volcanic complex or single volcano and a quite large one by the size of these lava tubes.

I don't see anything strange here dude.

Hmm.. I'm not an expert on the geography of Antartica, and I doubt you are either.. But I'll give you an S&F for the research.

You seem quite enthused, and I think this is causing you to hype the story up a bit.

Ice melts, water flows, harsh winds blow, etc..

While it is somewhat plausible for these openings to be anomalous, it is likely it is more easily explained by natural occurances.

Still, props for remaining vigilant.

I understand what you're saying regarding these opening being the result of lava tubes associated with a volcano, and this possibility has actually been discussed at the beginnings of this thread.

However, lava tubes or any other volcanic association appears to be highly improbable as the closest known (active, dormant or extinct) volcano appears to be Gaussberg approx 470 kms away.
And anyway, if this WAS to be a lava tube and measuring approx 90m wide, 60m high, it would probably qualify as THE BIGGEST known lava tube !

So, it's fairly safe to assume that a volcano was NOT the agency responsible for the creation of these two openings.

It's not difficult at all to become enthused when locating so many strange and unusual anomalies that don't appear to have an associated rational and straightforward explanation to account for their existence.
I'm not denying or disputing that such explanations MAY exist ... in the meantime, I'm just highlighting these curiousities and opening up an opportunity for others to discuss them and toss around possibilities.

I zoomed in deeper and found no brain.

so why should there be a considerable chunk of Antarctica remaining undisplayed BY GOOGLE EARTH as the United States Geological Survey has a complete mapping of Antarctica ?

The part blacked out on your image is an extremely EXTREMELY tough part of the world to take ground level pictures of. Lots of clouds there from space to block vision, and its too windy and cold to do much arial observation of that section. Its also the section where the geomagnetic south pole is located.
