This is an area on the bottom of the ocean just north of the Hawaiian Islands.
00:08
The seafloor was being investigated by the Ocean Exploration Trust and the Nautilus underwater
00:13
vessel and this was an unexpected find.
00:16
It looks like a road on the seafloor, nearly 3,280 feet below the surface, well over half
00:22
a mile down.
00:23
I feel like I'm looking at like a road to Atlantis.
00:27
So what is it?
00:28
Well scientists say while it looks like the road to Atlantis, this is actually an ancient
00:32
lake bed.
00:33
And the dry appearance is likely the result of volcanic activity literally baking the
00:37
crust into this brick-like appearance.
00:39
With the research team writing about it, quote, the unique 90 degree fractures are likely
00:43
related to heating and cooling stress from multiple eruptions at this baked margin.
00:48
With each brick being a tiny fracture caused by this stress, lining up just like bricks
00:52
in a road.
00:53
The Ocean Exploration Trust is constantly pushing the boundaries of deep sea surveying
00:57
And with only 3% of the ocean's floor mapped, they certainly have their work cut out for them.
