In the waters between the extreme tip of South America and Chile’s permanently staffed General Bernardo O’Higgins Antarctic base lies a chain of islands, with the crooked torus of Deception Island anchoring this ragged continental outcrop. At 63 degrees 2’56.73” South and 60 degrees 57’32.38” West lies a big ol’ jagged rock named, appropriately, Sail Rock.
But wouldn’t it be better if it were a kraken or some sort of sea monster? So why the hell not? According to the Daily Mail , Sail Rock is actually a 120 meter long giant squid.
Other theories worming their way up from dumbass corners of the internet include the possibility that we’re looking at a plesiosaur or maybe the Loch Ness monster. For some reason UFO Sightings Daily is also onboard with the kraken theory, which works, since a giant space squid seems more plausible than any terrestrial explanation.
Here’s a picture of the kraken from Google Earth:
And here’s Snopes’ breakdown , in case you were still on the fence.
