she explained to MailOnline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;There are a series of islands there and the water is pretty shallow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;This is an iceberg that became grounded and is now stuck and melting out in situ.\u00a0You can see many other icebergs in the area.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Professor Martin Siegert, Co-Director of the Grantham Institute, agreed with Professor Davies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He told MailOnline: &#8216;This is simply ice flow around a solid subglacial obstacle, influenced also by melting and re-freezing of ice and by katabatic winds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;The ice is quite thin here, as evidenced by other outcrops of rock nearby, so the influence of the bed on ice flow will be strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;It&#8217;s an interesting pattern, but not unusual or surprising glaciologically.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Meanwhile, Professor John Smellie, a volcanologist at the University of Leicester, joked: &#8216;What would we do without the conspiracy theorists?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;The res isn&#8217;t brilliant and I don&#8217;t recognize the locality but it looks to me like a short rocky ridge outcrop has been exhumed due to a lowering of the ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;It forms the &#8220;top&#8221; of the &#8220;doorway&#8221;. And there are two prominent parallel snow tails forming the sides of the &#8220;doorway&#8221;. The snow tails show you the orientation of the predominant wind direction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;So, with a good imagination, there is a weak and totally false door-like appearance overall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I am pretty sure it&#8217;s just a natural phenomenon and nothing to get excited about.&#8217;<\/p>\n<div class=\"art-ins mol-factbox sciencetech\" data-version=\"2\" id=\"mol-6606f3d0-8ada-11ef-8764-c7a58348741b\" data-permabox-url=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-13961299\/Mysterious-doorway-Antarctica-discovered-Google-Maps.html\">\n<h3 class=\"mol-factbox-title\">Believe in conspiracy theories?
