Conspiracy theorists claim to have found proof of ancient civilisations buried under the snow of Antarctica.

Amateur ‘truth-seekers’ have been scouring the continent with Google Earth, using satellite imagery to look for anomalies in the icy landscape.

Some of their supposed finds include a huge statue forming the shape of a face, a UFO crash site and entrances to an underground base.

Conspiracy theorists were sent into a frenzy after one Instagram user drew attention to a mountain in Antarctica which bears a similarity to a face.

The conspiracy theorists Blake and Brett Cousins shared the video and said it could be the remnants of an ‘ancient civilisation’, the Daily Star reports.

While some agreed that the formation was a man-made structure, others argued it was simply a natural peak.

Another theory emerged when a big X appeared on the freezing continent on Google Earth.

In a video posted on YouTube channel  Conspiracy Depot, viewers are shown how a mysterious marking has been placed over Antarctica.

It apparently suggests someone at Google is trying to point people to something mysterious.

Words accompanying the video state: “Looking through Google Earth tonight when I noticed a huge red X pointing to an area in Antarctica.”A semi-circle disc was spotted in Antarctica by Google Earth users.

Conspiracy theorists have claimed the object was designed.

YouTuber Sandra Elena Andrade said the ‘mysterious images’ had captured the interest of UFO enthusiasts.
