The 400-foot-long (121 m) object bears a resemblance to a cruiser with what appear to be chimneys and a line of windows.
The discovery triggered a wave of conspiracy theories, and some claimed that the “ship” is connected to a secret Nazi base in the Arctic, or is there to send world leaders in times of global crisis.
A clip of discovery, which is probably an ly-shaped iceberg, was uploaded to YouTube last week via user MrMBB333.
“You look at it from above and it looks like the silhouette of a ship,” the self-proclaimed “Earth Watchman” told its 400,000 YouTube subscribers.
“It’s feet long, no matter what a boat looks like.
“An ice boat, so to speak, a 400-foot yacht on the coast of Antarctica.”
MrMBB333 has a giant online audience that discusses rare discoveries on Google Earth and elsewhere.
Fans send things they’ve seen and the YouTuber then stores them on their channel.
“For the past 10 years, I’ve been very familiar with our planet, its mechanisms and its reaction to many other facets of the area’s climate and many other things as well,” says MrMBB333 on its website.
“I watch from the bottom of the sea to the cosmos and in the middle.”
In a video released on August 7, the MrMBB333 component of Snowy Antarctica on Google Earth.
He highlights a large chunk of ice rising above the snowy landscape. When Google Earth is switched to 3D mode, the ice suddenly looks like a ship.
After the “ice boat” post, YouTube commentators reported that the ship’s resemblance was related to government plots.
“It’s probably an ice shipment that was built in World War II,” advised an artistic user.
Others to think that the object had been left there through aliens.
“They’ve been going down there for 80 years or more so there’s no telling what they’ve found or left behind,” one commenter mused.
And some lunatics seemed to recommend that the shipment was intended to be used by world leaders to escape herbal disasters.
“I said a few years ago that there were ships built underground somewhere on the upper east coast (like the 2012 film) to save the rich and hard when the Canary Islands are affected by a massive earthquake that will devastate the east coast. “, wrote a conspiracy.
“I need to know why politicians, former astronauts and devoted leaders have been invited to Antarctica and around the world I don’t know yet. This makes me furious.
While the arguments presented through commentators may seem persuasive, there is a much easier explanation for the “ice boat.”
Discovery is probably the result of pareidolia, an effect that causes the brain to see shapes, structures, and patterns where they don’t exist.
According to NASA: “Pareidolia is the mental phenomenon in which other people see recognizable shapes in clouds, rock formations, or in a different way unrelated elements or data.
“There are many examples of this phenomenon on Earth and in space.”
