The crew of the Falkor (too) research vessel is at it again: In January, the team discovered four underwater mountains off the coast of Chile. The vessel has now identified 29 seamounts, hills, and trenches since 2012.
A team of researchers exploring the seafloor off Alaska last week recovered a peculiar brassy-yellow object at a depth of over 2 miles (3.2 kilometers). The researchers still don’t know what it is.
