I flat love reading about discoveries

like this:
Near the South Sandwich Islands, a British territory that straddles the Southern Ocean and the south Atlantic, scientists found more than a dozen huge underwater volcanoes, some of which tower 2 miles above the ocean floor. The expedition's leader, volcanologist Phil Leat, who is working with the British Antarctic Survey, says the volcanic cluster is unusually dense and active. "We weren't expecting to find so many undiscovered volcanoes here," he says.
...
Leat says the formation's conical shapes and cratered summits are signs of recent eruptions, meaning that almost all of these volcanoes are active. "This is the only place that's this active in the whole of the Antarctic Ocean," Leat says. The tallest of the newly discovered volcanoes has a summit that lies just 160 feet below the surface (less than twice the ship's length). Another eruption might be enough for this volcano to break the surface and become an island, adding to the South Sandwich chain to which the underwater giants belong.
