Zealandia: What secrets does the world's hidden eighth continent hold?
Zealandia: What secrets does the world's hidden eighth continent hold?
A team of scientists will today set sail from Australia on a two-month expedition to discover the secrets of the mysterious, largely submerged continent of Zealandia. With increasingly detailed seafloor maps available, scientists are now wondering what secrets the lost eighth continent, which is about half the size of Australia, holds. As the drilling expedition gets underway, here is The Telegraph's guide to the mostly “hidden” landmass.
Zealandia is the world’s eighth and smallest continent – and the newest to be discovered. It is located in the southern Pacific Ocean, including New Zealand, New Caledonia and two Australian islands, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. The continent spans 1.9 million square miles but the bulk of it – 94 per cent – is under the Pacific Ocean. It is about two-thirds the size of Australia.
