"Scientists Discover Massive Mountains Hidden Deep Inside Earth"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists from Arizona State University have discovered underground mountain peaks, called ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs), that are three to four times higher than Mount Everest, located around 2,900 kilometres deep inside the Earth. These mountains were formed when oceanic crusts were formed into Earth's interior, and they may play a critical role in how heat escapes the Earth's core. The discovery was made using seismology centres in Antarctica, and scientists believe that these mountains are made of ancient oceanic crust.
