Like what? What stuff is there?
In December 2003, against incredible odds, researchers working in separate sites, thousands of miles apart in Antarctica found what they believe are the fossilized remains of two species of dinosaurs previously unknown to science. One of the two finds, which were made less than a week apart, is an early carnivore that would have lived many millions of years after the other, a plant-eating beast, roamed the Earth. One was found at the sea bottom, the other on a mountaintop. Working on James Ross Island off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, veteran dinosaur hunters Judd Case, James Martin and their research team believe they have found the fossilized bones of an entirely new species of carnivorous dinosaur related to the enormous meat-eating tyrannosaurs and the equally voracious, but smaller and swifter, velociraptors that terrified movie-goers in the film "Jurassic Park."
Map is showing the Antarctic circle and the continent of Antarctica with a land area of 14 million km² (280,000 km² ice-free, 13.72 million km² ice-covered), so Antarctica is almost twice the size of Australia (7,617,930 km²), it is the world's fifth-largest continent in area, after Asia, Africa, North America, and South America (see the Americas). Not quite in the center of Antarctica is the South Pole, by convention it is the southernmost point on the surface of the Earth (wherever you would go from here you would go north, somehow). The South Pole is also one of the endpoints of Earth's rotation axis. The South Pole is not really a fixed point, simply because Earth is rotating slightly off-center, our planet 'wobbles' a tiny little bit, scientists call this behavior the Polar motion, it is the movement of Earth's rotational axis across its 'surface', and - the deflection is just a few meters.

There is a pyramid I found in photos from Operation High Jump.
And a city too
Antarctica
Happy Easter, enjoy

Of course, since most of Antarctica is covered in around 20 miles thick of ice, there has been really no way to excavate the land's past.
Do you think that it is possible that underneath Antarctica's 20 miles thick ice, that there lay evidence of a lost civilization?

No no, sugar. Those are the Giza pyramids. Presumably the pic was being used as a comparison for the shape and shadow affect of the proposed Antarctic pyramid shown in the post above the one you're asking about.

where do you find that the ice sheet in Antarctica is 20 miles thick?
if that were so there would not be any mountain peaks on any horizon of the continent ... as the tallest mountains on the planet are under 6 miles high
as for strange life forms... the lakes under the ice have some strange microbes in them as discovered a few weeks ago
