Looking Through Google's View Upon The World

This is Concordia Station, Antarctica.  It is one of the remotest places on earth, hundreds of miles from anywhere on the flat, mind-reeling expanses of the Central Antarctic Plateau.  It is two miles above sea level, and is home to a contingent of mostly French and Italians. 

Here is where it is on the continent.

 

Google Maps has photos of locations included on the sidebar.

Or so you are told.

This is actually an accurate picture of Concordia with the runway and the traverse road.

So far, so good...

This too, is in the photo list from Concordia.

Interestingly, that is Mt. Discovery in the background, with Phoenix Airfield in front.

I'm pretty sure that you can't see Discovery from Concordia...

...or Scott's Hut...

...from the back porch of the dorm I am billeted in...

And this... I really am quite sure something is amiss here.

Is this an attempt to promote the narrative of the Hot Air Cult telling us that the ice has melted from Antarctica?

Is this the green and pleasant land below 60o South?  Should we be expecting to see the dinosaurs here too, in the Land of the Lost?


Very peculiar...
