Google Maps: The weird and wonderful things caught on camera
Google Maps is one of the most useful tools available on the internet, allowing people to visit all areas of the world from the comfort of their own home.
But as well as its informative qualities, the site also provides countless entertaining images.
Alongside the ordinary looking residential streets and national parks is everything from the amusing to the downright bizarre.
One particular image shows an isolated iceberg off the coast of Antarctica.

I'm not an iceberg expert but this object is really peculiar and looks like a vessel disguised as an iceberg
At the coordinate 72°43'13.53"S 78°40'21.56"W is a block of ice around 500 metres long.
Apart from its placing, the iceberg looks nothing out of the ordinary.
But according to UFO hunters the object is an underwater alien lair.
The website, UFO Sightings Hotspot, believes it doesn’t fit the normal iceberg description.

The site reads: "Icebergs can be classified on the basis of their shape.
"The two basic types of iceberg forms are tabular and non-tabular.
"The shapes and forms from this iceberg look very different if we compare it with all the different shapes and forms of tabular and non-tabular icebergs.
"I'm not an iceberg expert but this object is really peculiar and looks like a vessel disguised as an iceberg.

"It looks out of place."
But UFO sceptic Scott Brando has said: "I don't see any mystery, it just looks like ice."
This isn’t the only alien or UFO related sighting that’s been spotted on Google Maps.
A satellite image posted on Google Earth shows a circular piece of land in Argentina, which conspiracy theorists believe is a hiding place for a UFO.
