Scientists Found a 'Yellow Brick Road' at The Bottom of The Ocean
An expedition to a deep-sea ridge, just north of the Hawaiian Islands, revealed a surprise back in 2022: an ancient dried-up lakebed paved with what appears to be a yellow brick road.
The exploration vessel Nautilus discovered the eerie scene while surveying the Liliʻuokalani ridge in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM).
PMNM is one of the largest marine conservation areas in the world, larger than all the national parks in the US combined, and we've only explored about 3 percent of its seafloor.
