Description
For centuries, we've been taught that Earth has seven continents. But what if that was wrong? Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, a massive landmass called Zealandia has been hiding in plain sight. It's 94% underwater, but scientists have finally confirmed that it's not just a collection of sunken islands. It's a fully-fledged continent, complete with continental crust, stretching nearly 5 million square kilometers. In this video, we'll explore how Zealandia broke away from the ancient supercontinent Gondwana, why it sank beneath the waves, and why not everyone agrees it should be called the eighth continent. This is the story of the lost world that's rewriting geography textbooks.
