The truth about the “black hole” in the ocean on Google Maps makes netizens quarrel

For most people, Google Maps is a useful tool to get from point A to point B, but for the curious, it’s a place to explore. If you pay close attention to Google Maps, you can find strange images, they may be to hide something, or simply Google Maps is not working correctly. Whatever the truth, the debate it provokes is often fun.

This is exactly what happened when a Reddit user found a “black hole” in the middle of the ocean while using Google Maps.

” What the hell,” kokoblocks wrote on the Google Maps subreddit . “It doesn’t look like an island at all. ” Early hints suggest the island could be a secret military base.

“Looks censored for some reason, ” said a user named KorvisKhan.

” My first thought was that it was moderated,” replied Jazzlike_Log_709. “There’s no way a natural formation should be so black in that little island.”

Google often blurs “sensitive” locations like military bases or prison yards. They do this to avoid revealing information about their location and structure.

Many theories focus on explaining the blackness of the image. The_Professor64 said: “It is possible that an underground volcano is causing the black, most likely volcanic rock.”

Some users took the opportunity to joke, suggesting it could be the island from the TV show “Lost”. One user concluded: “Obviously the entrance to the Hollow Earth. Duh,” referring to the Hollow Earth theory.

These people may be disappointed to learn that this mysterious place on Google Maps is Vostok Island. It is located northeast of New Zealand and belongs to the Republic of Kiribati, an island nation in the Central Pacific consisting of 33 islands and atolls.

“What you see as black is actually very dark green, it’s a very dense forest made up of Pisonia trees , “ wrote redditor SatisatisfyingAny20.

If you’re hoping for proof of another dimension or uncovering a conspiracy, don’t be discouraged. There are many other strange images found on Google Maps and there is almost always a fierce debate about them.
