Just an idea and it may not be any use, but has anyone thought of trying fiction rather than real world for the coordinates. They have used fictional things before, and I know that Dr Who went to Antarctica in the Tardis for example.

This site has been used before. lots of coordinates

Hello ther guys and gals, I'm noob to unfiction. But, I have to say I'm not a noob to Polar, Though I am a bit stuck at the moment.

What I have done so far:

In case anyone tries, it's not Atlantis, either

I did a quick image search on google for Minna Bluff and found this:

Based on that, could that answer be:

[cronogenesis]

I can confirm that

[donstobbart]

Someone has managed a solve on this one

[neuromancer]

Yeah, hivemind solved it, he's due to make a public announcement in 10 mins from now according to crongenesis (the time of this post)

[HiveMind]

This was damn funny hehe, answere here.

[Sherlock Gnome]

Argggghhh!!

You've gotta be kiddin me!

silver?

pfff!



thanks for putting me out of my misery, I was about to throw myself down the stairs!

[ramsfan]

oh well. No need to look around the universe when the answer was being bludgeoned in front of our noses. I was slightly too enthusiastic in wanting to enter a solve, and forgot that I didn't have the card, so I can confirm that it's not the answer to differently lethal. Hope we let those helpful antarctic scientists know how we or rather you got there. They might appreciate the humour.

[cronogenesis]

Im moving to the cyphers of history thread. See you all soon

[Daffydil]

And I was so sure it was something to do with Mars too, it seemed so right!

Pissed off at MC for this one check out what the proffessionals say below...well hey at least its solved

I think the nearest named point that would correspond most closely with the coordinates you give will be "Turks Head" itself, rather than "Turks Head Ridge" which extends northwards inland from the Turks Head on the south side of Ross Island. It lies towards the centre of "Windless Bight" on the coast of the island. At this point on the coast it is the Ross Ice Shelf, rather than the sea, that abuts against the coast. So there is no open water hereabouts. I have not found a specific reference to Turks Head but the rock will almost certainly be volcanic, probably lava or ash from one of the volcanic centres to the north. There could be lichens and mosses on the rocks and probably a microfauna living amongst any mosses. There are no seals or penguins there but there may be some flighted birds that nest there. I cannot think of anything else likely to "lie here".
