 Yellow Brick Road-like Structure discovered at bottom of Pacific Ocean

A yellow brick road-like structure has been uncover at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean by a team of marine experts. One of the experts called it as the road to the mythical lost city of Atlantis.

The uncover was made during an ongoing underwater survey mission undertaken by the Ocean survey Trust in the Pacific Ocean, just off the Hawaiian Islands.

The mission was being transmitted live and a just now produce reel on YouTube captured the moment when analysis stumbled upon the road while operating a deep-sea wheels .

Is it the Road to Lost City of Atlantis?

One research could be heard claiming that the yellow brick road, and that resembles a cobblestone path, is the 'road to Atlantis'. Another researcher described it as bizarre.

Yellow Brick Road: 5 Fun Facts About the Discovery

1. The lake bed where the Yellow Brick Road was uncover looked surprisingly dry despite being located below all over thousands of metres of ocean.

2. The research team noted that the ground looks already like “baked crust” that could be peeled off.

3. The volcanic rock was fractured in a way in a tiny section that it looked very similar to bricks. 4. The cobblestone road-like cadre was found in the Papahnaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM) on the Pacific Ocean's Liliuokalani Ridge. 5. The video taken by the the crew of Exploration Vessel Nautilus shows a strange-looking quality in the PMNM region.

What is it in reality?

According to the caption of the video posted by the survey team, the yellow brick road is actually an sample of ancient active volcanic geology. The post read that their Corps of survey witnessed incredibly unique and fascinating geological formations while diving on the Liliʻuokalani Ridge within Papahānaumokuakea Marine National Monument.

The road-like cadre was actually a "dried lake bed" formation, now IDed as a fractured flow of hyaloclastite rock (a volcanic rock formed in high-energy eruptions where many rock fragments settle to the seabed).

The unique 90-degree fractures are likely to be a action of recurrent heating and cooling stress from multiple eruptions at this baked margin.

Exploration Goal

The survey of the area aims to support researchers take a deeper look at life on and within the rocky slopes of these deep, ancient seamounts, and that will be support supply a baseline details on the living section of seamounts that can help conservation measures.
