“The Eye”: What's up with this mysterious circular island that spins?

[Althena]

I heard about this on the local news but didn't pay much attention to this phenomena until now. What say you?

The anomalous island is referred to as “El Ojo”…”The Eye”.
Via “The Eye” project on Youtube:

The​ E​ye is a circle of land surrounded by a thin channel of water with an outside diameter of 130 yards. Both, the inner and outer circles, are perfect. The center circle moves and rotates on its own axis.
How long had the eye been there? What caused this weird formation? Why does it move? How can it last for so long intact without deforming? How is it possible that having no water currents, aquatic plants don’t grow and cover it entirely? We decided to investigate further…

To help readers cut to the chase:

The feature, which seems to be a completely natural one, is here (about 30 miles/ 50 km NW of Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Yup, it's in the province of Buenos Aires near Campana, too bad it's so difficult to get to it or I'd be there in a heart beat. The thing that strikes me as odd is that the water is cold in an otherwise warm marsh. Strange indeed.

Organic equivalent to "Ice Circles":

... floating turtle island :bigsmile:

Likely created in similar manner to these:

I watched a show once where the recreated the effect in a lab (well, an indoor refrigerated pool and flowing water - it was quite an elaborate setup), just to prove these were naturally occurring phenomenon.

Damn you Herve, always beating me to the punch ... :)

[Althena]

That's all fine and dandy Herve but why doesn't anything grow around it?? I hope they raise the money to get all those experts in there to run the corresponding research and come up with an answer.

Because the edge/circumference is continuously abraded/eroded.

Ok, fair enough, do we have anymore of these "eyes" that are not ice based on Earth? Maybe we can compare them and see the results.

Why is the water unusually cold when the surrounding water is warmer around this naturally occurring phenomenon?

Hi athena,

I think it's a quite spectacular find.
Thanks for posting.

If the "eye" is indeed formed with the same forces as the ice discs, and the water there is colder, then I would speculate that there might be an underground river that is at the cause of this phenomenon.
It could account for both the "eye" and the colder temperature of the water.

Perhaps this could be a component of a heat pump for something below the surface.

That eye dose not resonate as natural to me.

Lucky for the film crew to find such an intriguing addition to their upcoming film :)

As far as I can see it's nothing like the same process as the 'Ice-Circles' The ice circles form by that action of consent flowing water and perhaps the appropriate temperature.

Is there a constant flow/water movement with the Veg-eye ?

Something about it reminds me of the 'Sink-Hole' phenomenon ?

If it hasn't been man made, then it really dose need to be examined!
How deep is the hole it's in?

Could almost imagin a Flying-saucer in that hole, ticking over on stand-by with it's energy field rotating ha :sun:

That "island" ROTATES... therefore, it is not an island per se, but a "float" or raft. If it rotates, there is a flow of water making it spin around and abrade/erode its edge. A flow of water implies that the floating island/raft is sitting atop a water spring. The cooler water temperature indicates the spring is a resurgence of water like with an Artesian well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artesian_aquifer) and could be coming from very far away.

It's all good and intriguing , but when it is said that the circle is almost too perfect to be natural , I have to disagree . Where as I believe nature produces the most perfectively , spectacular , abundance of evidence you'll ever need . Take the sense of you're vision , if you can see then you know it's there and has always been .
