In recent times it seems those who use Google Earth or Google Maps to view different areas as a whole have come across something interesting. This near Antarctica seems to look like some kind of ship made of or hidden within ice. 

According to The Sun, this odd-looking piece of ice was first brought to our attention by YouTube user MrMBB333 on August 7th who uploaded a video covering its presence. The more you zoom in the more clear this potential ship’s presence becomes. It is about 400 feet long and honestly looks like a capsized ship of some sort, doesn’t it? To see this for yourself you can take a peek at the video below.

The Sun wrote as follows on this topic:

The discovery has sparked a wave of conspiracy theories online, with some claiming the “boat” is linked to a secret Nazi base in the Arctic, or is there to transport world leaders in times of global crisis.

A clip of the strange find, which is most likely an oddly-shaped iceberg, was uploaded to YouTube last week by user MrMBB333.

“You look down on it and it looks like the outline of a ship,” the self-described “Earth Watchman” told his 400,000 YouTube subscribers.

“This measures 400ft long, whatever that looks like it looks like a ship.

“An ice ship if you want to call it – a 400ft yacht just sitting there off the coast of Antarctica.”

MrMBB333 has a large online following with whom he regularly discusses unusual findings on Google Earth and elsewhere.

While we don’t necessarily know for sure what this ‘ice ship’ truly is and may never know, it does seem to appear to be some kind of ship that’s been locked away by the cold. Sure, at first it seems to be just ice but the more you look at it the more it appears to be some kind of cruise ship or perhaps something else of the sort. As noted above the presence of this overall has sparked a lot of people online to think up their own theories in regard to this and well, some of them are quite interesting while others are ‘creative’ to say the least. 

Tech Times wrote as follows on some of those theories:

The discovery has sparked conspiracy theories with some linking the “boat” to a secret Nazi base in the Arctic or was used to transport world leaders during the global crisis. MrMBB333 shares the strange stuff that fans have spotted on his channel.

Some comments think aliens left the object. “They’ve been going down there for 80 years or more so there’s no telling what they’ve found or left behind.”

Another commenter noted that the “compound” seemed like “it has been blurred out to hide what’s there…”

Meanwhile, YouTube commenters also linked the “ice ship” to various conspiracies in the government. One user suggested that “it probably is (an) ice ship that was built in the second world war.”

Another conspiracy theorist said he “was told a couple of years ago that there are ships built underground somewhere on the upper east coast,” which appear like those in the movie 2012. The commenter said they were used “to save the rich and powerful” after a massive earthquake hit the Canary Islands.

“I want to know why politicians, old astronauts, and religious leaders were invited to Antarctica, and the whole world still doesn’t know. Makes me ANGRY!” exclaimed by an angry user.

What do you think about all of this? I for one am quite on the fence about what this could be. While it does look like a ship, it might just be something that looks like a ship, right?
