Weird photo near Deception Island (near Antartica) from Google Maps

Currently on Google Maps, type in the following coordinates, go to Satellite view and zoom in:

63°02'56.5"S+60°57'35.9"W

The question is, what is it? Natural? Man-made? Living? Non-living?

I have some guesses but would like objective viewpoints. For those who are unable to find or can't load the image, I'll insert here:

(mod note) Feel free to close and refer thread if already discussed, I wasn't able to find anything on it.

Almost looks like a monster squid coming out of the water.

It's probably too low res to really know for sure what it is.

Looks like lights under the ice sheet from an underwater base.

Or from 100 shrimper boats

I was also thinking it was something going into or out of the water from the wave formations.

Agreed. I don't think Google lets us general public users have access to their ultra high-res stuff. Check this out, you can zoom in on a single person in a massive crowd clear as day: www.gigapixel.com...

Cool link, the resolution is pretty crazy.

As for the original picture, it certainly looks like something coming out of the water. First thought would always be a whale of some sort, but I just can't see whale attributes anywhere in that picture.

You can make out a solid, semi pointed section out of the water and almost what looks like individual lines right under the waters surface(as shadows).

please no logic yet.
lets speculate.( why else would it be on a site called 'abovetopsecret' [which ironically hasnt even fouo information])

so lets see, UFOs, secret entrance to the hollow earth, secret human races, mysterious sea creature, or anything unknown..

where are the experts with secret information only they have access to? any youtube vids telling what it 'probably' definitely can be yet?
i need to be entertained this morning.

Spooky! It really does look like a giant squid! Do we have any sense of scale for this thing? Maybe this will make it onto that What on Earth series!

It really does look like a giant squid. What sort of scale is the image?

Giant Squid/Giant Octopus surfing on a submarine?

Mile long giant squids,oh #, Houston we have a problem.

That gotta be Captain Nemo's ship battling a giant squid or leviathan.

It is a megalithic whale battling a super enormous giant squid, duh!

Thats why I asked the scale...

is that white X part of the pic?

In the other dark spot just to the northeast of this one(closer to Deception Island) is another small island that looks similar, just not lit up but same waves.

‘I used Google ruler and it says this is 30 meters (100 feet) from head to end, but the end looks like just the mid area of a giant squid, which means it could be 60+ meters long with tentacles. 'That sounds like the Kraken to me.’

www.dailymail.co.uk...

Isn't there some huge, white, almost humanoid "monster" swimming around Antarctica according to some Jap whaling boats?

Either there are reports or I dreamed it... same difference, actually.

Could this be a squid 'breaching' through phosphorescence? A really really big nuclear powered 'squid'?

Cool find, whatever it turns out to be...

Isn't the water all around it frozen?

a reply to: LSU0408

It's not frozen. They do plenty of tourist expeditions on and around the island. That area is quite volcanic.
