Over the years, we've seen all manner of weird and wonderful things caught on camera and immortalised on Google Maps including a couple of blokes having a scrap, a woman's disembodied legs and a 'secret military base' in the middle of the desert.

And so we head to the Antarctic, where eagle-eyed Google Earth users reckon they've spotted a gigantic 'ice ship' lying on an iceberg just off the coast. Check it out below:

The 400ft-long structure does bear a resemblance to a large ship and even appears to have chimneys - naturally, the discovery has prompted various conspiracy theories about hidden objects on the icy continent.

It was spotted by a self-professed 'Earth watchman' who shared a clip of the find on his YouTube channel after being tipped-off by someone else.

YouTuber MrMBB333 said: "You look down on it and it looks like the outline of a ship.

"This one here measures over 400ft long - 428ft to be exact.

"Whatever that is, that looks like a ship. An ice ship, whatever you want to call it, that's what it looks like: a 400ft yacht just sitting there off the coast of Antarctica."

The YouTuber explains the 'ice ship' sits just below New Zealand, around 100 miles off the shore of Antarctica.

Other YouTube users are equally fascinated by the find, with one commenting on the video: "That does look like a YACHT FOR REAL!!!"

Another wrote: "Omg! I LOVVVVE Antarctica content! One of the MOST Interesting/Mysterious places on this Earth!!"

A third said: "I have heard people say that after WWII there has been a lot of movement in Antarctica; like military movement, not sure but it would not surprise me. Thank you for sharing such fantastic photos and such interesting and questionable things out there @MrMBB333."

A fourth speculated: "Someone just found Noah's ark."

Elsewhere in the video, @MrMBB333 also discusses other mysterious finds on the continent, including 'what looks like a torpedo' or 'maybe a submarine', which measures 50ft long.

"That's as big as a five-storey building," he says.

"At 50ft long it could very well be a small submarine or some sort. Don't know."

He adds that he found that find 'very interesting'. Google Earth is certainly that.
