These features are the reason I am looking for clear satellite images of Antarctica and is the reason for my other thread. So far I have only Google map images to base my opinion on and to be sure about this, I need to see other images of the same areas.
As we all probably know, starting in 1947, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Jr. had a few interesting experiences in Antarctica and so it is possible what he experienced was not a trick of light or snow blindness but actual events happening as he reported them. If so, then we are ignoring a huge issue which would change the way we look at this bleak frosty continent forever.
I would like you to consider some strange lake-shaped features in the Antarctican landscape which could be something other than lakes. I will show pictures of two such 'lakes' below and if you are interested you can use Google Maps to have a look for yourself as I have given the co-ordinates. This could be a real unexplained mystery or it could be just a couple of lakes, you decide. One thing I will say is that Antarctica does have some lakes which are liquid water in the summer months so not everything there is ice and rock.
The first one is unusually almost triangle shaped is at 66deg 33min 13.74secs South, 99deg 50minutes 18.38 secs East
The second one right in the centre of this image is not that far away at 66deg 36mins 13.82secs South, 99deg 43mins 13.63secs East. To me it looks as if it has a metal overhanging cover on the right hand side, but that maybe an optical illusion.
To help you decide, I have included a standard Antarctic lake with water flowing in from one end and flowing out of the other and some partially melted ice water near to the edges. Not sure where I found this one. It seems to me that the water nearest the middle in lakes is the last to melt but I am sure most of you have seen frozen lakes and know about these things better than I do.

"Almost" triangle shaped? Is that like "almost pregnant"? Is this more unusual because it is "almost" triangle shaped as opposed to actually being triangle shaped? These pictures are "almost" proof.
Proof of what I do not know but I would suspect it is more proof of something that is not in Antarctica than something that is in Antarctica.
Relatively sharp edges and relatively straight lines are not uncommon in nature. Round lakes and depressions are quite rare but do occur as in crater lakes.
I would not have described that lake as triangular and I don't see anything that looks like a metal plate. It just looks like deep water in low light. Although, there does seem to be an ice sheet covering part of the lake in the second image or is just the light effects off the bottom of the lake?
Admiral Byrd reported an encounetr with a race of aliens in Antarctica, so was he having a breakdown or was he (as a naval admiral) a credible witness?
If there was any doubt about his sanity, would they have let him lead a mission to Antarctica? No, I dont think so. Look up the 1947 mission and read about it.
The first image possibly shows a roughly flying saucer shaped hole in the ground and the second shows a possible entrance to an underground base of some sort - maybe I can't tell. I am not the one who 'discovered' these, I am just opening this up for discussion.
There is no doubt that the Nazis were 'playing' with the idea of flying saucers at the end of the war. Von Brown and other scientists were given immunity from prosecution when they agreed to come and work in the USA. Von Brown went on to develop rockets which we now use to get into space, there is no telling what the other projects developed as we have not heard much about them.
Why would a Rear Admiral ruin his career and make up a story like that? On the other hand, why wouldn't a high ranking military person report to his superiors exactly what he experienced?

Looks to me like the "secret diary" out there attributed to Byrd has as much relationship to reality as other fabrications like "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion"; t's a fabrication of the Hollow Earth crowd. Can you prove otherwise?
The lakes in Antartica are just that -- lakes, and I'll place a bet here and now that no mole men or Nazi flying saucers are going to be issuing from them. The earth isn't flat, and it isn't hollow, either.
If he did make up the story (I think it's just a fabrication attributed to him), why would he risk his reputation over it? Take any lie told in the last century by a person holding high office or in the military and ask the same question. People lie because there's something in it for them, and that includes whoever made up and published the "secret diary".
Here's a copy of the supposed "secret diary"; it reads like fan fiction written by someone who's read H. P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness" one too many times:
Thank you for the link Vasily. Clearly a fake and fraud or hoax. It looks like parts of it were just plagiarized from other material.
If this were true and Admiral Byrd wanted to record it for all to read one day why would he not have put this out before he died? Seems like an unexplained contradiction to me.
Admiral Byrd was scarcely a frightened recluse. The appended interview dates from the very early fifties. He freely discusses Antarctica with no reticence. He's very comfortable in the interview and apparently unconcerned about secret alien bases. When this interview took place, television was still in its infancy. The cost limited its audience to people of good income, that is, the educated. Television shows of this sort are no longer made.
The interview would have only been four years or so after his supposed capture by aliens.
The fact that an alien spaceship probably crashed at Roswell doesn't mean that aliens are under every rock and in every remote cave.
