A team of oceanographers led by Schmidt Ocean Institute have discovered and mapped a new seamount on the Nazca Ridge 900 miles off the coast of Chile.
Imagine four skyscrapers the height of Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, stacked on top of one another. That’s almost the height of an underwater mountain newly discovered and mapped by oceanographers led by the Schmidt Ocean Institute in California. Located in the Pacific Ocean 900 miles off the coast of Chile, the seamount is 1.
Spaghetti monsters, a ghostly octopus and a rare squid Using an underwater robot, the team explored one of the mountain’s ridges, finding a region rich in marine biodiversity. The researchers documented a ghostly white Casper octopus, marking the first time this deep-dwelling cephalopod has been seen in the southern Pacific. They also spotted two rare Bathyphysa siphonophores, sometimes known as flying spaghetti monsters for their stringlike appearance.
