Zealandia : the sunken continent

Zealandia: The Sunken

Continent

One of the greatest enigmas

of modern geology has just

taken on new contours.

The submerged continent Te

Riu-a-Mui, better known as

Zealandia, was almost

completely hidden under the

waters of the Pacific Ocean for

millions of years and was only

officially recognized by science

in 2017.
