A research expedition led by Australian National University (ANU) has discovered a ‘lost ocean world’ of underwater volcanoes about 250 miles off the coast of Tasmania. The scientists were aboard the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) research vessel Investigator mapping the seafloor when they came across the previously unknown seamount chain. The volcanic […]
A recently discovered ‘lost world’ of underwater volcanoes teems with diverse marine life above and below the waves. Scientists aboard the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) ship Investigator mapping the seafloor discovered a diverse chain of volcanic seamounts located in deep water about 400 km east of Tasmania. Although these water mountains reach […]

The Lost World was discovered about 400km east of Tasmania, by researchers from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial […]
Hidden beneath the waves off the east coast of Australia, scientists have discovered a “lost world” of epic volcanic peaks buried beneath the Tasman Sea, never before seen by human eyes. This chain of volcanic seamounts – underwater mountains formed by ancient, extinct volcanoes – rise about 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) above the ocean floor. […]
