Even if partly true , yes you could retreat there to warm springs under ground...you still have to eat...
Dam hard to grow a carrot?
a glass of milk?

They have a replicator like on Star Trek. All ya gotta do is say "Earl Gray, HOT" and presto there it is. It is a handy device for making the other things necessary for comfortable life. And like on Star Trek, no bathroom is ever needed.

The Wiki excerpt from the Chilean news paper certainly reads less spooky than the paraphrasing off conspiracy websites.

Byrd indeed foretold of the near future.

He was rather Tabs-like about it too.

However he was very creative in his personal diary were apparently he became quite the science fiction novelist. Remember this guy lead a US Navy task force more than once...................perhaps a real Dr. Strangelove.

Admiral Richard E. Byrd of the United States Navy flew to the North Pole in 1926 and over the South Pole in 1929.

In his diary, he tells of entering the hollow interior of the earth, along with others and traveling 17 miles over mountains, lakes, rivers, green vegetation, and animal life. He tells of seeing tremendous animals --resembling the mammoths of antiquity moving --through the brush. He eventually found cities and a thriving civilization. The external temperature was 74 degress F.

His airplane was greeted by flying machines of a type he had never seen before. They escorted him to a safe landing area where he was graciously greeted by emissaries from Agartha. After resting, he and his crew, were taken to meet the king and queen of Agartha. They told him that he had been allowed to enter Agartha because of his high moral and ethical character. They went on to say that they worried about the safety of planet due to he bombs and other testing done above the surface by goverments. After the visit Byrd and his crew were guided back to the surface of the planet.

In January of 1956 Admiral Byrd led an expedition to the South Pole. On that expedition he and his crew penetrated down 2,300 miles into the center of the earth. Admiral Byrd stated that the North and South Poles are only two of many openings into the center of the Earth. He wrote about seeing a sun below the Earth.

I thought everyone knew they built a base on the dark side of the moon:

That sounds like something L. Ron Hubbard would write. I guess ole L. Ron had a wilder imagination but that is pretty far out there.

Looks like a natural formation to me.

They use transporters to evacuate those areas. I expect the reprocess it...

Antarctica Growing Green With Grass : Discovery News

The rapid warming of the Antarctic has been a boon for two native plants. As the temperature warms ancient peat decomposes into a nitrogen buffet for the Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis) and Antarctic hairgrass (Deschampsia antarctica).

Such an algae explosion may actually be a climate boon, since the plants gobble up more of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide—but only to a point, she warned.

Deception Island Hot Springs, Antarctica. Deception Island, Deception Island Anarticain the Antarctic Peninsula, has natural springs that offer bathers an other worldly experience: Amidst the ice and snow, in a setting where you can watch 'bergs sailing past, you can immerse yourself in waters delightfully warm. One minute you're shivering in your polar fleece, the next you're swimming in what might as well be bath water.

In the waters off Antarctica at the southernmost seafloor vents where hot water percolates from below, piles of hairy crabs swarm in the thousands.

Antarctic Hot Springs Yields Ghostly New Species

Antarctic Hot Springs Yields Ghostly New Species : Discovery News

A newly found deep-sea hot springs off Antarctica is host to an array of new species.

I've read elsewhere that there are vast underground lakes of warm water under the surface along with a network of caverns, both in the ice and in the rocky soil. I have so far been unable to locate ultra-sound or infa-red maps of them - which could prove to be interesting.

Nazi Swastika Found In Ancient Antarctica Lake Sparks Russian Fears

Nazi Swastika Found In Ancient Antarctica Lake Sparks Russian Fears

A shocking Ministry of Defense report on the Russian scientific team [photo top left] that has successfully drilled 3,768 meters into the world’s largest submerged lake on the continent of Antarctica, believed to be untouched for over 20 million years, states that the underwater video camera discovered the “striking image” of a “golden-like swastika” estimated to be no less than 100 meters in height and width.................................

Far from its being the symbol of the Nazi Empire, the swastika is our world’s oldest known symbol that dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization of Ancient India, as well as Classical Antiquity, and due to the extreme amount of time estimated in the millions of years since man last looked into the depths of Lake Vostok, it is entirely possible that what has now been discovered in Antarctica may very well be another clue to who we are and where we really come from.

The evidence for this “golden swastika” predating the Nazis is further bolstered by the Finaeus (1531) and Piri Reis (1513) maps of Antarctica used by Western explorers to “discover” the New World and showing it to be ice free with flowing rivers, drainage patterns and a clean coastline.

Below is the mysterious map which gets some people all excited. It supposedly shows Antarctica's land mass accurate despite being covered by miles of ice.

Lake Vostok
Lake Vostok - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The lake was drilled into by Russian scientists in 2012. The overlying ice provides a continuous paleoclimatic record of 400,000 years, although the lake water itself may have been isolated for 15 [7][8] to 25 million years.[9] On 5 February 2012, a team of Russian scientists claimed to have completed the longest ever ice core of 3,768 m (12,400 ft) and pierced the ice shield to the surface of the lake.[10] As soon as the ice was pierced, water from the underlying lake gushed up the borehole.[11]

The first core of freshly frozen lake ice was obtained on 10 January 2013 at a depth of 3,406 m (11,175 ft),[12] and it is yet to be analyzed.[13] The Russian team plans to lower a probe into the lake to collect water samples and sediments from the bottom. It is hypothesized that unusual forms of life could be found in the lake's liquid layer, a fossil water reserve. Lake Vostok contains an environment sealed off below the ice for millions of years, in conditions which could resemble those of the hypothesized ice-covered ocean of Jupiter's moon Europa.[14][15]

Russian Antarctica Team Poised to Reach the 14-Million Year Old Waters of Lake Vostok -a Prehistoric Laboratory

No, nothing here about German submarines and cloning Hitler...........................

It says here that the drill team, which made haste to leave the project till next year's summer, allowed some of the lake water to rise into the drill string a short distance, got evidence it froze, and will let next year's crew retrieve some for analysis. Seems entirely sensible. No fear, one gathers, that when they get back then will find that the whole lake has geysered back up the pipe, lacquered the landscape in fresh ice suffused with tiny, dead, alien-looking beasties, and generally written fiasco on the whole deal. But wouldn't that be a story? - See more at: http://ksj.mit.edu/tracker/2012/02/update-ap-etc-its-official-russians-dril#sthash.8WAR9GlL.dpuf

Lake Vostok is one of the mysteries of Antarctica. It is an enormous lake, more than 250 km. long and50 km. wide, buried 3.748 meters deep under an immense layer of ice. It’s water is one of the most awaited samples by scientists who work in the continent..................

Lake Vostok’s drilling is one of the biggest achievements of science in the last years. It is the result of almost 20 years of work and a titanic fight against weather conditions and the adversities of the most inhospitable continent on Earth.

Antarctica's hidden Lake Vostok found to teem with life - NBC News

More than 3,500 different DNA sequences were identified in samples extracted from layers of ice that have built up just above the surface of the lake. About 95 percent of them were associated with types of bacteria, 5 percent of them had the hallmarks of more complex organisms known as eukaryotes, and two of the sequences were linked to a distinct class of one-celled organisms called archaea.

No big fish, no three eyed aliens, and no dead Nazi's.

"While the current conditions are different than earlier in its history, the lake seems to have maintained a surprisingly diverse community of organisms," the researchers wrote. "These organisms may have slowly adapted to the changing conditions in Lake Vostok during the past 15-35 million years as the lake converted from a terrestrial system to a subglacial system."

3,500+ species discovered in Lake Vostok, underneath miles of ice, in conditions similar to Jupiter’s Europa
By Graham Templeton on July 8, 2013 at 1:47 pm

Most interesting is that the life they found is not entirely bacterial. Several hundred species of eukaryotic organisms also live in the water, including over 100 multicellular species. They even found species that are generally associated with mollusks and fish, leading one researcher to say that the lake “might have fish,” before quickly backpedaling..........................

This finding shows, though, how long life can survive on how little energy. Could life survive a trip through space on an asteroid? Lake Vostok shows us how few environments we really can discount in our search for life in the universe.

And yet, here we are. Having found living organisms in similarly isolated caves, in the burning mouths of volcanoes, and even floating in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, perhaps it shouldn’t have come as such a surprise to find life in these waters. In March, researchers confirmed the existence of a genuine Vostok-dwelling bacterium. It was a species never characterized before, which was exciting, but the assumption was that this was a plucky survivor hanging on by the skin of its teeth. Now, however, it seems the species revealed a few months ago is just one of a thriving community living in this most extreme of environments.
