After centuries of speculation, scientists have officially confirmed the existence of Zealandia, an enormous submerged ...

The crust of Zealandia is between 10 and 30 kilometers thick, which is thinner than the 30 to 45 kilometers of the other continents. The mapped sandstones are approximately 95 million years old ...

Zealandia, which some researchers consider the eighth continent on Earth, is older than previously thought for a long time.

You might be used to learning about seven continents around the world, but did you know that Zealandia is the long-lost eighth? It was undiscovered for a long time because it's mainly underwater.

Geoscientists have confirmed Zealandia, a continent hiding in plain sight for nearly 375 years. Covering 1.89 million square miles, it lay submerged beneath the waves, sparking excitement and ...

During the past decade, we surveyed, sampled and defined the hidden continent of Zealandia. Intense global media coverage of our work revealed deep-seated arguments about how we define continents ...

Our expedition drilled into the recently discovered underwater continent of Zealandia, revealing a new picture of the violent geological forces that created it. We undertook a 28-day voyage to ...
