The Pyramid in Antarctica Isn’t Actually a Pyramid

Here are some more pyramidal peaks that are sadly not the discovered remains of alien spaceships that crash-landed on Earth a million years ago.

1. Alpamayo, Peru

It is difficult to find a better example of natural beauty than the Cordilla Blanca mountain range in the Peruvian Andes. Although it is not the tallest mountain, this nearly 20,000-foot (6,100-meter) peak presents a unique angular glacial horn that closely mimics the pyramidal shape of Giza’s ancient wonders.

2. Pyramid Mountain, British Columbia, Canada

This aptly named peak developed its pyramid-like sides through natural processes similar to those of the unnamed mountain in Antarctica. However, this Canadian peak is the product of a primordial “song of ice and fire,” as volcanic eruptions contacted ice sheets, forming a subglacial mound.
