A mysterious image captured near Antarctica by Google Earth has sparked a frenzy of speculation online with theories about its source ranging from the mythical ‘Kraken’ sea monster to an aquatic UFO. The image of the elusive being was first spotted off the coast of Deception Island in the South Shetlands on Google Earth on April 9 and shared through a video on YouTube in an effort to solve the oceanic mystery.
It’s estimated the creature measures up to a massive 120 meters in total, prompting some to believe the legendary Kraken sea monster has finally been found.
Another theory is that the creature is in fact a plesiosaur, a now-extinct marine reptile common during the Jurassic Period. “When I saw it, it immediately made me think of a plesiosaur fin,” the YouTube user who uploaded the video wrote.
