Ice-penetrating radar has indeed revealed giant lakes and canyon systems beneath the Antarctic ice. In the 1990s, Russian drilling at Lake Vostok detected complex microbial communities, which mystics exaggerated into "subglacial dinosaurs" or "subglacial civilization," and claimed that artificial tunnels connecting secret bases and leading to the center of the Earth existed under the ice.

Debunked
The scientific community has confirmed that beneath the ice there are only lakes, canyons, and microorganisms. The "artificial tunnels, constant-temperature transport systems, inner-earth entrances" are pure science fiction and conspiracy theory with no substantive evidence.
