Despite the exciting speculation, the reality is much more mundane. According to the New York Post, the structure is simply an iceberg. Bethan Davies, a glaciology professor at the University of Newcastle, explained, “This is an iceberg that became grounded and is now stuck and melting out [in place].” She noted that several other icebergs are visible in the area.
Professor Martin Siegert, co-director of the Grantham Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at Imperial College London, corroborated this, stating, “This is simply ice flow around a solid subglacial obstacle, influenced also by melting and re-freezing of ice and by katabatic winds.” He added that the thin ice in the area, along with nearby rock outcrops, significantly affects ice flow.
