in 2022 E/V Nautilus During the expedition, scientists and researchers came across something we wouldn’t expect: a huge yellow brick road stretching across the ocean floor. in the north of the Hawaiian Islands, Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM) This road-like structure, discovered on the city’s Lili’uokalan ridge, attracted widespread attention.

PMNMIt is one of the largest marine protected areas in the world and only 3 percent of this area has been explored. The part where the road is located is 3000 meters below the sea surface. Ocean Research Trust The road was also visited by .

Here’s that video

Researchers discovered this interesting structure in the video. “Road to Atlantis” And “yellow brick road” They call it. It was also said that although the structure was deep in the sea, it “looked as if it had dried up”. If it weren’t actually at the bottom of the sea, it would be hard to imagine that we are seeing the remains of a road that was once built around a lake.

Researchers believe that this structure about how it got to this point He also has some ideas. It is estimated that this structure formed when volcanic rock was exposed to many explosions and therefore continuously heated and cooled. The brick appearance is explained by the fact that the angle of the cracks is ninety degrees.

With this discovery, our planet About mysterious geological history Expect to learn more. The road can provide important information in this respect.
