"Seafloor Mapping Team Discovers Massive Find in Pacific Ocean"

A seafloor mapping project in the Pacific Ocean has discovered a massive seamount, twice as high as the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. The 5,249-foot-high seamount covers 5.4 square miles and is located 1.5 miles below sea level in international waters. Seamounts are underwater mountains that serve as "oases of life," hosting deep sea corals, sponges, and various invertebrates. This discovery highlights the vast unexplored areas of the ocean and the potential for further scientific exploration.
