Simple.

Scylla is a homage not only to Kumonga, but to Gezora - the Cuttlefish monster from "Space Amoeba". In nature, Squid and Cuttlefish (along with Octopi) are all part of one family called Cephalopods.

Furthermore, in the film Space Amoeba, Gezora's power was emitting a 'cooling gas' to protect it from the warm and dry atmosphere - causing its body to create extremely cold temperatures. Since Scylla is a homage to Gezora, the fact is she likely has the same (or a similar) power, so she's using her ability to create cold in order to restore the ice that has melted in the Antarctic.
