According to Wendy Schmidt, during each expedition on the Fokker Research Vessel, new things are found, which are unexpected and surprising. This discovery shows us that there is still a lot in our oceans that we don’t know about, which we are excited to continue exploring.
Dr Jyotika Virmani, Executive Director of the Schmidt Ocean Institute, said: ‘This more than 1.5 kilometer long seamount, which is still hidden beneath the waves, highlights how much we still have to discover. .’ The team thinks this new seamount could be one of many.
