During approximately seven years, a pyramid-shaped peak in the Ellsworth Mountains of Antarctica has sparked various conspiracy theories involving aliens and ancient civilizations. Satellite images of this pyramid-shaped mountain peak in Antarctica first appeared on the internet in 2016. The peak measures 2 square kilometers in each of its base directions. The design of the peak resembles that of Egyptian pyramids. This geological structure has triggered various conspiracy theories.

Some people claim that the peak was built by ancient civilizations 10,000 years ago when Antarctica was warm. However, there are also those who say that the pyramid is the work of aliens. Although the pyramid is formed naturally, people consider it to be an impossibility.

Geological experts argue that this is actually just a mountain that happens to look like a pyramid. Other geological experts explain that pyramids are actually a common feature of glacial areas known as pyramid-shaped mountain peaks formed by the convergence of glaciers on existing land.
