A Mysterious 150-Meter Antenna Found 4000 Meters Deep in the Antarctic Ocean: Who Placed It and What Is Its Purpose?

The Mysterious Antenna at the Bottom of the Antarctic Ocean

Antarctica is the last continent humanity set foot on, with explorations beginning only in the 19th century. As the southernmost landmass on Earth, it is nearly entirely covered by glaciers.

Spanning 14 million square kilometers, it is the coldest continent on Earth, with an average annual temperature of -57°C. It is also among the driest, receiving less than 200 milliliters of precipitation annually.

Moreover, Antarctica experiences the most storms, with over 300 days of the year witnessing gales stronger than Beaufort scale 8. The highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth was also in Antarctica, reaching speeds of 82 meters per second, nearly 300 kilometers per hour.

By all accounts, Antarctica is the most inhospitable environment on Earth, utterly unsuitable for human habitation.

Despite the severe conditions, since humans first stepped onto its land, there has been an ongoing effort to harness its resources.

However, during the 19th century, scientific and technological advancements were still nascent, insufficient to support long-term human presence in…
