In a matter like this 'a team of scientists' will not do at all for attribution.


This seems a good deal more likely:

The photos show a mountain with very triangular features that rival even that of hoaxster Semir Osmanigic’s so-called “Bosnian” pyramid.

And this is no more a man-made pyramid than the hill in Bosnia.

What it is, however, is some cool geology called a faceted spur. Typically, there’s more than one of these and they’re associated with faulting and tectonic activity combined with erosion. They can occur when uplifted rock layers erode with drainages that create the spurs that terminate at the fault scarp, usually parallel to the resulting facet in the valley below. Additional erosion that leaves behind the harder, erosion resistant layers of rock can also create triangular facets. These are called flat irons. The erosion in Antarctica would likely be due to glacial activity passing between the peaks, carving out the rock, leaving behind some interesting geometric shapes.
