Visit the coordinates 72°00’ 36.00’’ S, 168° 34’ 40.00’’ E on Google Maps and you’ll find a mysterious face-like shape in the ice – seemingly complete with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. The formation has been compared to the infamous ‘Face on Mars.’
Zooming out on the map, the face disappears into the noise of the other rocky formations of Antarctica.
How’d this get found, anyway? On August 25, 2019, a Reddit user claimed to have found the location on Google Earth using an artificial intelligence algorithm that searches for “weird patterns in the south/north poles.” He added that “one of my inputs was human-like features.” This was apparently the only interesting thing to turn up!
