Turns out, the black hole in the ocean is actually the island of Vostok, a few hundred miles south of Hawai’i. Some people also suggested a natural explanation for the picture, including volcanic rock. “It wouldn’t make sense for a natural formation to be black like that in such a shallow, small atoll/island.” Google Maps is known for blurring out sensitive areas such as military bases and an island airbase in the Pacific Ocean wouldn’t be too surprising. “My first thought was that it’s censored,” another user replied.
“Looks censored for some reason,” one user said with other users concurring. Duh,” one user replied, referring to the Hollow Earth theory that says the Earth is, well, hollow. (they’re teenagers, cut them some slack).ĭifferent people had different opinions about the true nature of the picture, which ranged from answers posted just for laughs to actual logical explanations. “What the f- is that? This looks nothing like an island,” is how she posed her question for the community. The reddit user kokoblocks posted a photo of the mysterious hole in the Google Maps subreddit (Yes, there’s a whole subreddit dedicated to the mysterious Google Maps findings because why not?) to get an explanation for the weird anomaly from the users. This is exactly what happened with a Redditor who came across a mysterious black hole in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on Google Maps. Discovering new places on Google Maps has become a hobby of sorts for a lot of people, with many people trying their luck to find something unexplainable or mysterious on this scavenger hunt.
