Look for the phenomenon of giant ice cubes in Antarctica

Antarctica is not just an ice-filled land, sometimes, in some places it is vast rocky areas.

Photos of the "giant sugar" ice in Antarctica may cause many people to not believe their eyes. Is it an alien product?

Antarctica is not just an ice-filled land, sometimes, in some places it is vast rocky areas . However, with the image below, the giant rectangular white ice blocks are an anomaly.

The aircraft look so small compared to the "ice sugar" in Antarctica.

The aforementioned images were first discovered in Antarctica in 1995, on the British coast of the Antarctic peninsula causing great curiosity to the public. Many questionable opinions, is it a product created by these? A recent study has revived this issue and provided convincing answers.

Accordingly, these are formed by the movement and break of large ice sheets in different dimensions. According to Ted Scambos, a leading research scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (USA), this image seems to represent a fast and floating ice area.

Scambos said, although the giant ice block in Antarctica looks very solid, the reality is that they are constantly moving, flowing and bumping against each other. That movement makes these cubes appear rather than the carved result of any alien force.

Specifically, when a giant ice floes up, it will be very thick. However, under the effects of nature, it will appear and diminish, breaking into cracks. Initially they will be parallel to the forward motion of the tape, creating a series of horizontal cracks. After that, a series of other cracks appeared perpendicular to the direction of the ice flow, forming a network like a chessboard.
