Your probably thinking of 2016 when John Kerry visited, it was also the year that the russian church head and pope blessed the research stations down there.

Church officials said the Patriarch prayed for polar researchers, including 64 Russians who have died on polar expeditions.

His visit was the first ever by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church to Antarctica. It followed the first encounter between a head of Russian Orthodox Church and a pope in nearly 1,000 years.

Something that does stick out to me, is admiral byrd's supposed findings. He talks about fields of green, in the snow. Something that should be impossible. While not fields, there do exist spots where the snow doesnt seem to gather and vegetation does grow in it.

Funny enough, I cant find the wikipedia article about it anymore. I doubt its been deleted, but I cant find it from a simple search.

Does make me wonder what the us military found up there chasing after hitler.

If I remember correctly, soon after hitler took power, he sent an expedeition to survey the continent. What do you suppose happened to those tapes?

Still, these photographic surveys covered a huge part of Antarctica and increased the size of the known area by 16 percent, according to Lüdecke’s historical research. The surveys covered more territory than the German homeland at the time. The Schwabenland expedition didn’t last long, they completed their work and began the long trip home on February 5, 1939.

Much of the expedition’s science was either lost during the war, or kept under wraps until it was finally published in 1958.

With all that said, the images in this post are hilariously badly photoshop. The first image for example has no shadow pointing in the same direction as the rocks shadow. Obviously fake. Hard to take anything seriously after that.
