"Discovery of Massive Seamount Dwarfing Tallest Building via Gravitational Anomalies"

Researchers aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute's Falkor research vessel have discovered four massive seamounts in the deep sea off the coast of South America, with the tallest rising more than 1.5 miles from the seafloor, making it three times taller than the world's tallest building. These extinct volcanoes create gravitational anomalies detectable by satellites due to their massive size, and are part of a larger effort to map the world's seafloor by the end of the decade. Seamounts are important marine habitats, attracting diverse marine life and serving as biological hotspots.
