Imagine sailing across the vast Pacific Ocean when suddenly, a surprise continent appears on the horizon. It's Zealandia, Earth's hidden eighth continent. Zealandia is submerged beneath the waves, with only a small portion, including New Zealand and New Caledonia, poking above the surface. Geologists officially recognized Zealandia as a continent in 2017 due to its distinct geological characteristics and its own continental crust. This underwater continent spans nearly 4.9 million square kilometers, making it about two-thirds the size of Australia. Zealandia's existence reveals just how much we're still discovering about our planet 🌊🌏🗺️🚢
