Lindberg discusses various possibilities for what the object might be: “It has these very strange stair formations, and if it is constructed, it must be constructed tens of thousands of years ago before the Ice Age,” he said in the radio interview. (The peak of the most recent Ice Age occurred some 20,000 years ago.)

Lindberg acknowledges that the object could instead be a natural formation, such as a meteorite that penetrated the ice during the Ice Age, or an underwater volcano; however, he gives the impression that scientists are baffled by it.
