The first one was described in a post on Nov 14, 2018 in the SCIENCE now, add FICTION later forum under the title Beneath Antarctica's Ice, Evidence of Lost Continents!. (<— link)

I had a ball coming up with ideas for a hidden valley in Antarctica, located beneath the ice. To illustrate what I had in mind I wipedup the picture below with Paint.net in, using a nice picture of New Zealand, with the sky replaced by an aerial photo of the North Pole . . . turned upside down







Naturally the bright sunlight is all wrong, but you get the idea.

The thread includes links to articles I found which state that a hidden valley under the Antarctoc ice might be possible.

I didn't create a story to go with this amazing subterranean landscape, I just wanted to see how close I could get to making it seem possible. And I enjoyed every minute of it.
