☆ Largest Deep-Sea Coral Reef to Date Is Mapped by Scientists off the US Atlantic Coast
  + stars: | 2024-01-18 | by ( Associated Press | Jan. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +2 min
WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists have mapped the largest coral reef deep in the ocean, stretching hundreds of miles off the U.S. Atlantic coast. The largest yet known deep coral reef "has been right under our noses, waiting to be discovered,” said Derek Sowers, an oceanographer at the nonprofit Ocean Exploration Trust. Unlike tropical coral reefs, where photosynthesis is important for growth, coral this far down must filter food particles out of the water for energy. Deep coral reefs provide habitat for sharks, swordfish, sea stars, octopus, shrimp and many other kinds of fish, the scientists said. The world's largest tropical coral reef system, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, stretches for about 1,430 miles (2,301 kilometers).

The high-quality video includes the official identification of the Akagi, while also providing new clues about the final hours of the aircraft carriers. “I just hated to see my ship torn up like that.”All three aircraft carriers were found previously, the Yorktown in 1998 and the Japanese ships four years ago. Besides sinking the Akagi, the Kaga and two other Japanese aircraft carriers, U.S. forces shot down more than 250 Japanese airplanes. When ordered to abandon ship, Taylor jumped overboard and tried to swim to a nearby destroyer, U.S.S. “I was really upset because I loved that ship,” Taylor said.

A team led by the Ocean Exploration Trust also assessed two other wrecks from the Battle of Midway. AdvertisementAdvertisementResearchers used a remotely operated vehicle to reach the shipwreck, which lies more than 5,400 meters beneath the ocean's surface, Van Tilburg said. Ocean Exploration Trust/NOAAThe Japanese lost more than 3,000 men during the fight, while the US lost a little more than 350. Ocean Exploration TrustViewers following along at home included people whose family members served on the ships and helped build the vessels, Cook said. We have been friends with Japan before and after the war much longer than the period where we've been adversaries," Van Tilburg said.

CNN —Everywhere you look on Santorini, you’re reminded that you’re on a volcano. Few realize that beneath the hypnotic kaleidoscope of colors lies an active volcano. The East Mediterranean’s most active underwater, and potentially dangerous, volcano, Kolumbo, is five miles northeast of Santorini and part of the same volcanic system. They include a visit to the volcano of Nea Kameni: one of five islands that form the Santorini volcanic complex, and a national geological park in itself. A simmering volcanoTourists can take boat trips to Nea Kameni, home to an active volcano.
