Ningen: Deep Ones in the Antarctic?

The video frame above is said to depict a Ningen, a creature of Japanese lore, said to live in the depths of Antarctic waters.
Ningen literally means "human" in Japanese, and they have been spotted by Japanese fishermen and "research ships" (translation: whaling ships) during the last decade.
There are a few blurry photographs and some really blurry videos of these things, and the following details, coming from an anonymous researcher:
They are humanoid in appearence, long arms with five fingers, (or not if you read another account), have legs (or fins), are completely white, and are 20 to 30 meters in length. (!!!!) They mostly surface at night, and they are difficult to spot because they resemble icebergs.

Now that's a large creature.. Aliens? The Deep Ones? Shoggoths? (remember At the Mountains of Madness? it was set in the Antarctic)
Your guess is as good as mine.. Here's what Mysterious Universe has to say

While the first known reports of theses mammoth monstrosities are apparently untraceable; it is accepted that the Ningen did not gain any real notoriety until a description of these creatures appeared online in a popular Japanese forum known as 2channel. The individual posting claimed to have been working on a “government whale research vessel,” when one of these creatures rose up from the depths.
According to the account, the anonymous crew member — along with fellow researchers — scrambled up onto the deck to catch a glimpse of what they initially thought was a “foreign submarine” floating on the horizon. However, as the research vessel approached the object it became evident that they were not dealing with a machine-tooled structure, but a living, breathing, behemoth. The crew stared in awe at this biological anomaly until it submerged moments later.
There are persistent rumors that suggest that members of this research team managed to snap a series of extraordinary photos of the “thing” during their brief encounter, but these images were allegedly suppressed in order to spare the government funded research team the shame — and financial ruin — of being associated with this unusual event.

An here's a video said to be depicting a Ningen

Whatever these things are, I suspect information will be slow at coming, forever keeping them in the long light of uncertainty..

Alp-size mountain range in Antarctica

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Reuters:

Jagged mountains the size of the Alps have been found entombed in Antarctica's ice, giving new clues about the vast ice sheet that will raise world sea levels if even a fraction of it melts, scientists said on Tuesday.

Using radar and gravity sensors, the experts made the first detailed maps of the Gamburtsev subglacial mountains, originally detected by Russian scientists 50 years ago at the heart of the East Antarctic ice sheet.

"The surprising thing was that not only is this mountain range the size of the Alps, but it looks quite similar to the (European) Alps, with high peaks and valleys," said Fausto Ferraccioli, a geophysicist at the British Antarctic Survey who took part in the research.

He told Reuters that the mountains would probably have been ground down almost flat if the ice sheet had formed slowly. But the presence of jagged peaks might mean the ice formed quickly, burying a landscape under up to 4 km (2.5 miles) of ice.

The last (obvious) place of mystery. 4Km of ice is thick. Too thick to melt, destroy, burrow, at least for the time being.
A true Terra Incognita, hostile and unforgiving, igniting the imaginations of writers with subzero secrets and hidden civilizations. Where else could an Ancient City millions of years old could have survived intact, if not under the protective polar cap?
I am referring of course to H.P Lovecrafts "At the Mountains of Madness". Holds a special place in my heart.
It could be there, under the ancient, ancient ice. Really. It could be.

And if it isn't, is it really important? No. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. H.P. was right in so many aspects it makes you wonder.
