Map of 'Lost' Continent Zealandia That Disappeared 23 Million Years Ago Ultimately Revealed!

Researchers are mapping the strange "lost" continent of Zealandia for the first time. The huge landmass in the South Pacific vanished 23 million years ago under the waves - and has never been investigated. It was initially part of the huge Gondwana (supercontinent), which was created by continents that are present in the southern hemisphere.

Those involved elevation over the surrounding region, distinct geology, an adequately-defined region, and a crust more firm than that discovered on the ocean ground.

In other reports, the history of a lost continent concealed for 100 million years under Europe has been uncovered for the first time. secret mountains under the Earth's crust buried 400 miles could be bigger than Everest. And, there's an unknown stash of over a quadrillion tons of diamonds concealed under the Earth's surface.
