From Google Earth - something is obviously there in what we get to see in this brief video.
Whatever it is, it is about 100+ yards in length, according to google measure in the video. It does appear to have disturbed a large amount of the water area in its vicinity.
Somewhat an interesting watch _ no real answer to what it is!! My first look - could be some sort of manufactured "capability" for somebody/some entity! Just the fact that it is at the south pole can raise some question about it/why is it there anyway? :)

BOSTON – Is there something lurking in the ocean near Antarctica?
One YouTube user suggests there might be. The person found a mysterious disturbance in the ocean waters near Deception Island, off the coast of Antarctica, while browsing Google Earth.
The mysterious shape bears some resemblance to old depictions of legendary sea monsters, which is something YouTube user 'wowforreeel' draws a comparison to.
While some on the internet think it is proof of the existence of the legendary "Kraken" – a giant squid or octopus that attacks whales and ships – others have suggested it might be a boat or a rock formation.

According to wiki, the largest male killer whale known (to date) is 32 ft in length!

No, This Is Not An Antarctic Sea Monster Discovered On Google Earth

Sure, it might be really cool to live in a world that has Krakens emerging from the deep to wreck leviathan-style havoc on the seas, but we will never know. We do not live there.
Over the weekend, articles began popping up saying that someone had spotted a Kraken on Google Earth.
The fact that the source of this news was UFO Sightings Daily did not appear to bother anyone. Because, photographic proof of a mythical sea monster. OMG.
Unfortunately, just like the face on Mars, and the many Nessie sightings that went before, this Kraken was soon undone. Deep-sea biologist Andrew David Thaler of respected ocean blog Southern Fried Science quickly pointed out that this was not proof of a hidden giant lurking in the depths.
Instead, it was a rock. A really cool rock that looks like a sail and hangs out in some of the coldest and most treacherous waters in the world. But still, a rock, which only looks like a squid if you're looking at an aerial shot from a satellite. Thaler pointed out that if you look at navigational maps, the anomaly was actually noted and named Sail Rock. Sail Rock is a rock outcropping shaped like a sail (go figure) just a few miles south of Deception Island, a tourist destination in the South Shetland Islands, an island chain north of Antarctica.
Sorry to crush all your dreams.
The mythical Kraken remains, just that, a myth. There are giant tentacled creatures in the sea, including the aptly named giant squid. But the longest giant squid on record was 59 feet long—huge, but not the 100-200 feet (or more) that was originally claimed.
There aren't many pictures of Sail Rock, available online, with good reason. It is located seven miles south of a remote island with only seasonal research stations. A popular photo opp, this isn't. But a few keen-eyed photographers captured the sail-like geological formation while on ships in Antarctic waters. See examples here
