It's just an artifact of the digital panoramic shot. They're all over the place in that picture; look at the base of the monument and the little pyramid structure just to the right of it (just a few more at a glance).
Funny the artifacting doesn't effect the sky which seamlessly falls behind those mountains. This can not be explained using a stitched together panorama, nor a true 3d camera rig. This shows intentional manipulation, unlike the six wheeled cars in google street view.
What's funnier is I've seen this same artifact on several of my phone cameras. Background unaffected, foreground repeating things. Probably has something to do with the depth of field why some things get copied and some don't.
OP is confidently incorrect and unable to be deterred. Let the little guy have his day. What's he gonna do? Fly to the coordinates and take his own pic?
What are the red, metal looking items on the shorline? Looks like some kind of landing area, or structure?
Edit: Also looks like a helipad on the same island.
To be honest, the 3 mountains/massif's he referenced could be part of the same complex. I won't jump to immediate conspiracy. However, there is a helluva lot of GIS partitioning and overlapping areas around that lat/long, so I have no doubt something is being hidden from the normal, public eye.
Be aware that the Google maps recieves their information from the NRO. If the NRO decides to block something out, they will. Google maps doesn't just service the US. Anyone on Earth can use it to zoom into locations. Some stuff may be blocked out for 'reasons'.
Click the link, Hernan is the photographer Google is crediting with those three identical mountains. Rather doubt that's OP, otherwise he'd have the unedited original photo to show us.
So, I wonder what those mountains were copied over and why they were so sloppy about it? One at least has some different features on the front slope, but all three peaks are the same.
The two on the right have the same little mogul in front too.
I don't think it's a conspiracy. I think anyone who's ever messed with panoramic digital photography has seen this before. The pano-scan is supposed to overlay terrain where it overlaps, but sometimes it does things like... well exactly what we see in this pic.
If you more in the foreground and pan right, you'll see other odd duplicate features and a little blurriness to the right of the flagpole(?). All of this suggests a digital pano pic taken freehand, possibly on a tripod without a level pan. Either way, I'm in the "digital pano artifact" crowd.
What's the conspiracy supposed to be here anyway? Antarctica doesn't exist? Are we Flat Earthing?
/* holy shit keep panning right of the monument and you see a bunch more disjointed and/or duplicated shit, including the base of the monument.
I tend not to click google maps because it tries to open the app I deleted from my phone, and gets on my nerves. I don't want to download. I don't want to login. I can live without it.
Oh no! Someone better track down the original thread and inform him of his deliberate action he's admitting to, as he calls himself out as the source. Though he's not the source, as it's there for all to see. I assume he's Gen-Z, and has no understanding of privacy concerns.
Take a look for yourself
68°07'50.23"S 67°06'09.89"W.
That's how it appears on google maps as well.

What's funny is you don't know anything about the camera setup yet confidently have expectations on how it should perform.
What this shows is that you need more information.

I have ruled out the only two camera setups and errors that could account for this. no more is needed.
yes it can be explained by stitching
Zoom in on that Lat/Long location.

You doxxed yourself with that screen shot Hernan.

Either that or "things exist in Antarctica we aren't supposed to know about." Pyramids, shuggoths, that sort of thing.
It's the same mountain ---- it just ran around the photographer and got in the picture again.

But, I'm glad it wasn't an error.

Dude. I'm glad that's the case. It's not always.
