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

a reply to: Bspiracy

If the question is to cajole an understanding to why an illuminated perimeter on both sides of the bright spots on the island are apparent ..

I did not, and still do not, see any anomalous lighting. Perhaps you are mistaking color variance for lighting. Please refer again to the aerial image of the rock.

Sigh

Still continue trying to ul

Looks like a smooth surface, and it must be the size of a city block or more.
A lot of turbulence is there indicating great movement on the surface,
Look like a giant stingray. Certainly odd, good find.

I used google earth and simply copy and pasted the coordinates in -
worked fine.

The two yellow circles originate from the bright spots.

I dont see a unidirectional light source explaining that.

Look at the image I posted. See the patch of ice on it?

It's Sail Rock. You said that you agree. What's your point?

It's not my view. It's the definition.
Aerial images are from aircraft (from the Greek, aerios). Satellite images are from satellites.

Touche'

Sad a person has to refer to a written definition when you know what i said was truth at its generallly undersrood core.. . on this site at least.

You are a brilliant person but others arent so. Meet them in the middle.

Back to the point.
Your "southern sun" doesnt answer the multi faceted illumination issue for me right now. Mabybe after further thought it will

The point was to differentiate the satellite image from Google and the aerial image I posted. In general, aerial images show higher levels of detail. In this case, a great deal higher.

I guess you missed it the first time.
Did you see the patch of ice in the aerial image I posted?

Admittedly i dont know what yer talkinng about. I revisited earlier pages and i dont know what you mean. Repost please

IMHO,

this is clearly a boat, probably a fishing boat with its lights on. Look at the wave fallout/offset, the direction and the wave pattern - i think there is not much room for an alternative explanation

Sail Rock is an insular rock, 30 m high, lying 7 nautical miles (13 km) southwest of Deception Island, in the South Shetland Islands. This name, which dates back to at least 1822, was probably given by sealers. From a distance, the rock is reported to resemble a ship under sail, but at close range it is more like a house with a gable roof.

I dunno guys.... I like to imagine the bizarre and unusual as well but all I see is a breeching whale.
