  ABSTRACT: Enigmatic radio signals recently discovered and emitted by the Antarctic ice have been attributed to the hypothetic existence of a new, previously unknown elementary particle. This article suggests an alternative explanation; it considers the ice mass as a giant solid body similar to the earthquake (EQ) focus, in which micro-cracks are generated under anisotropic deforming compression. The electric discharge of the cracks, like the mini-capacitors, is accompanied by the generation of electromagnetic waves. The enigmatic radiation indeed imitates and mimics the electromagnetic activity of the EQ focus, the phenomenon well known in EQ physics. It implies that icequake focus is hidden in the Antarctica.
