El Ojo is a nearly perfect circular island located in the Paraná Delta of Argentina. Its astonishing symmetry has baffled scientists, as natural formations rarely maintain such precise geometry.
Unlike typical landmasses, El Ojo is not stationary — it rotates slowly on its axis, drifting around within a circular pool of cold, clear water. This unique motion has added to its eerie allure.
The island was discovered in 2016 by a filmmaker, Sergio Neuspiller, while scouting locations for a science fiction movie. The unusual shape caught his attention on Google Earth, leading to an on-ground exploration.
Google Earth imagery reveals that El Ojo has maintained its perfect circular shape and position for decades, showing only slight variations — an anomaly in the constantly shifting delta region.
Scientists hypothesize that the rotation could be due to natural currents or underground springs, but no definitive explanation has ever been proven.
The pool surrounding El Ojo is unusually cold and clear compared to other swampy waters in the Paraná Delta, raising speculation about hidden underground water sources.
Visitors report that El Ojo’s surface is spongy but firm, as if floating on layers of vegetation and compressed peat — unlike the mushy ground found in surrounding wetlands.
Locals and online communities claim the site could be a portal to another dimension, a UFO landing site, or even connected to extraterrestrial activity, though none of these claims have scientific support.
