Oceanographers find underwater mountain bigger than Mount Olympus

Imagine an underwater mountain the height of four Burj Khalifa skyscrapers stacked on top of each other. Oceanographers led by an institute in California discovered and mapped this 1.9-mile-tall seamount in the Pacific Ocean, 900 miles off the coast of Chile. The mountain range is home to unique marine species, including a filmed sighting of a rare squid. The expedition used sonar technology to map the mountain, providing valuable information about the seafloor topography. This discovery contributes to a broader understanding of the biodiversity and habitats in deep-sea ecosystems.
