I saw this the other day that may be even stranger than this rectangular iceberg, which is pretty weird too btw.

> It's difficult to tell exactly how big the iceberg is from the photo, but experts said it was probably more than 1.6km (1 mile) across.

This is mind-blowing. I'm trying to picture the scale of that thing, and realized a small plane could probably safely land on top of it with much room to spare.

Not that it's particularly interesting, but I also took a photo of a rectangular iceberg:

I bet with some cropping or from a different angle it could be made to look as rectangular as the one in the photo.

This was taken off the east coast of Greenland in a helicopter. It's kind of hard to get an idea of scale, but it's rather enormous. 20x bigger than the typical "big ice"

It wouldn't be the first subterranean military base.

>> The US space agency said the object's sharp angles and flat surface suggested it had recently broken away from an ice shelf.

Cover-up. This is clearly the forth monolith warning us to abandon the Europa-clipper mission.

There is nothing weird about that. It's just Kohnen Station. They even have a website[1].

Not just a small plane. Even an Airbus A320 could handle a mile-long runway.

Before anyone clicks the bait:

> What is this TWO KILOMETRE long secret city unearthed by melting ice in Antarctica? > A TWO kilometre long series of 22 sinister-looking structures have been revealed by thawing ice in Antarctica - prompting claims the installation is a World War 3 fall out shelter for the global elite or even a landing pad for incoming aliens.

'Discovered' on Google Earth. My bet is on simple data processing artifacts.
