You we love, your data not so much - add in more useful information and interest will pick up.
Hans..."You we love, your data not so much" sounds very Yoda-sh!!!

You'll be disappointed to know under all that ice, is much less land than you think. Think of it more as a cluster of islands, rather than one massive land mass.

What is the location of that cave in the picture on google earth?
Those 2 pics (and many more) were taken from an Antarctica related thread that I created a couple years ago.

What is the scale of what we are looking at? What is the diameter of that semi-circular object?

Antartica isn't made of ice, it is covered in ice. I doubt than any form of civilization got there and managed to survive arctic conditions.
I would say it is rocks

Well, with respect..I'm going to disagree with you on that one. This being one of my personal passions, I'm very familiar with what is in the public domain and science about the Continent and land mass. This is one of the most recent and accurate studies of the true land lines for the shoreline to Antarctica.

Of course, they are discovering a very complex and perhaps, actively flowing set of waterways and lakes beneath that giant sheet of ice, following the incredible discoveries around the Russian Vostok Station and Lake Vostok beneath it.

The source on that last one is a sometimes dry but often times interesting site covering Physics, Earth Sciences and general Scientific topics. I've found it to be a solid source in the past.
It's a mystery Continent to be sure. Someday, I hope we have the technology to properly core down beneath the ice and start doing some exploring where the evidence indicates ice sheet movement may be little to none over the years. Seeing a landscape beneath that has been scraped like a clean sheet of stone may not hold much....but if areas exist with clear features and where the freeze came as a 'freeze in place' event to just keep piling on? Who knows... There could be some real great finds to be made. One of the final places on Earth to hold such promise. ......if only we can get to it without destroying what makes it special, of course.

Maybe if the ice recedes far enough we will discover Atlantis there buried under the ice (water).
