LiveScience has a story about a 8th hidden continent on our planet. It's called Zealandia and only a small part of it, New Zealand, New Caledonia, and a few other specks of land, are above sea level.
The eighth, a lost continent called Zealandia, isn't a huge landmass that geographers have somehow missed. Rather, only small bits — including New Zealand, New Caledonia and a few other specks of land in the vast Pacific Ocean — are above sea level. The rest of this continent lies beneath the waves, a new study suggests
"I hope Zealandia will now start to appear on world maps which show the other continents," said Nick Mortimer, a geologist with GNS Science in Dunedin, New Zealand. "There is an extra one, and it is as real as all the others."
The original paper appeared in the Journal of the Geological Society of America.
