The 8th Continent

[susieice 40,649]

Scientists are sure they've identified the missing 8th continent, which they call Zealandia. While 94 percent is underwater, with just a few islands, such as New Zealand above the water.

It's been mapped in great detail. It got it's continent status in 2017.

The term "submerged continent" is most often heard in association with the legendary lands of Atlantis or Mu. Atlantis and Mu never really existed, but there are a couple of real submerged continents around the world. Both are in the Southern Hemisphere. The submerged continents go by the names of Zealandia and the Kerguelen Plateau.
