Reddit user captioned the post: "What’s over 200ft long, casts a shadow of 50ft, and appears to have crashed on an Arctic [SIC] island, moving so fast that it slid over 3,000ft?”
The island, located near Antarctica, has a strange snow formation in the area near Mount Carse.
It looks very similar to an avalanche but the video posted on Reddit goes into detail about how it could be more that what it seems.
The main point of contention for the Reddit user is that there appears to be a long thing object that has created a lengthy straight track away from the disrupted area as if it crashed at speed.

Lots of other Reddit users have replied to the original post.

Another said: "Could it be a meteor?".
However, lots of other people have guessed the mysterious object is just a rock or a big block of ice that has fallen during an avalanche.
