Just for oddity and speculation... I offer no conspiracy here, lol - just an interesting fact I found
In Antarctica there is an island called LATADY Island. It is UNDER the ice, and thus not mapped properly until the 'Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey' in 1960. The island was mapped based on photos taken from a plane just after WWII (those who are familiar with post-war antarctic stories might find this interesting), they are named after William R. Latady, an aerial photographer and navigator on the expedition's flight.
Here is Latady Island as seen on a NON-Google map (Bing, or something):


Here you can see how its all covered in ice, yet you can make out the edges of the island(s) and coastline:

Here is how it has been mapped, without the ice... agaon, on a NON-Google map:

Now as you can see above ^^, there is also a ROTHSCHILD Island nearby. The funny thing is that the coordinates for Rothschild Island are IN THE WATER (if you zoom in on this point there is no land there):

Indeed there are 2 distinct locations/coordinates for these 2 islands:

Now here's where is gets a bit weird;
In GOOGLE MAPS, 'Latady' Island is no more, and has been replaced by 'Rothschild Island'. If you try to type in 'Latady Island' on google maps, it will not say 'Latady Island', it just says 'ROTHSCHILD'. Not 'Rothchild Island'... just 'Rothschild';

There is no mention of 'Latady Island' on Google maps, and the weird mystery spot where 'Rothschild Island' used to be is also gone. Somehow, according to Google, Latady Island is now simply called 'Rothschild'.
Is this just an error? Or is Google re-writing maps?
You decide!
