Is this a man-made structure or a naturally occurring rocky peak ? Image Credit: Google Earth
An eagle-eyed Internet user has spotted some peculiar pyramid-shaped structures on Google Earth.
The latest in a series of anomalous objects spotted on the search giant's satellite mapping service, the controversial find has been generating a lot of discussion online over the last few days.
Referred to as 'snow pyramids', these structures each appear to have four sides and have been regarded by some as evidence of an undiscovered ancient civilization.
Sadly though, it seems far more likely that the 'pyramids' are actually rocky peaks known as nunataks which are essentially the tops of mountains protruding through the ice.
The distinctive straight edges and flat sides are the result of natural erosion over millions of years.
