Seems to be solved. Sail Rock: http://www.southernfriedscience.com/did-monster-hunters-find-a-120-meter-long-giant-squid-on-google-maps/

Good find, and this makes much more sense than a "kraken" or UFO 

[Hawken]

So then this mystery is KRAKed.

Just looks like a really big t-shirt to me.

Sorry but i do not think the object is Sail Rock. Firstly, Sail Rock is called Sail Rock because it sticks out of the water like a SAIL. The object looks absolutely nothing like a sail sticking out of the water. If you measure the object, it is 143feet in length and the water disruption is over 1,066feet in length. Waves banging across a rock will not cause water disruption of this length and by looking at the pictures of Sail Rock, i doubt very much that Sail Rock has a width of 143feet.
Nice theory but it is NOT Sail Rock.

You assume those are accurate measurements; they're not. To my eyes it looks just like Sail Rock. Latitude/longitude: 63°02′59″S60°57′00″W
Decimal coordinates: -63.0500 -60.9500 These are the coordinates for Sail Rock. Punch it into Google Earth and see for yourself.

Doesn't look squid to me..

[Marozi]

Thank you Hammerclaw for your explanation. Its relativ equal how it looks or measures in Google Earth. The coordinates both point to Sail Rock. Unless you suggest a Giant Kraken sometimes basks in the sun on high rocks...

No kitsch Krakens need apply.

[BeastieRunner]

It's just a rock ... what a bummer! But good for the area.

[GlitterRose]

And I was hoping for Cthulhu.

[Patient Zero]

Dang. Pretty cool image though.

But not as much fun to comment on here.

Cthulu isn't in the Arctic, you're thinking of a Shoggoth.

He could be taking a walk.

Cthulhu goes wherever it pleases. As long as there are no boats around.

Well it is just off the coast of Deception Island after all.

I'd agree with the Sail Rock theory at this point. Honestly the pic didn't look like a kraken to me, so much as a breaching whale.

[Marcelina]

Yes, I too will agree with the Sail Rock theory. It doesn't look like a Kraken to me that much.

[Skeptri]

Near Deception island

What a deception

[MalonskiJr]

I belong on that island

Looks like a large whale breaching with what's behind it merely the wake of the water as it was thrashing around?

[oldrover]

No, it's definitely Sail Rock. Aside from the matching coordinates, the final test is that if that object isn't Sail Rock, then it's disappeared.
