The discovery was made by a Google Earth user who was zooming in on Deception Island, a volcanic caldera in the South Shetland Islands. As the user zoomed in, they noticed a massive disturbance in the water. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the disturbance was caused by a large, dark object that was about 100 feet long.

Some commenters have suggested that the creature is a Plesiosaur, a long-necked marine reptile that went extinct millions of years ago. Others have said that it could be the mythical Kraken, a giant squid-like creature that is said to terrorize sailors. Still others believe that it is nothing more than a large rock.
