The Missing Continent It Took 375 Years To Find - BBC Future

In keeping with the theme of strange new worlds, Zaria Gorvett makes a point of braiding romance and science with strange new lands right on the third rock. We have seven seas, so it's a no-brainer that we have seven continents. Right? Not so fast, as continental drift proponents Abraham Ortelius and Alfred Wegener reckoned there was an eighth continent and its name doesn't start with Mu, Lemuria, nor Atlantis. Finding it took hundreds of years, but maybe if they listened? There's a segue if I ever wrote one as The Siberian Times gets a bit freaky with the sesquipedalian lede Alien-Like Chatter Of World's Deepest Lake as a photographer shares eerie sounds of newly formed ice. Give it a listen, dig the narrative for the science, and consider how this phenomenon could be the source of other sound strangeness 'round our globe. (CS)
