    ✧ Heard Island and McDonald Islands ✧

    Heard Island and McDonald Islands is an external territory of Australia in the southern Indian Ocean. It is a group of sub-Antarctic volcanic islands that lie on the Kerguelen Plateau. It is about 4,000 km (2,500 mi) south-west of the Australian mainland and 1,700 ...

    “🔍 For the first time, scientists have observed seafloor spreading in real time.
    Seafloor spreading is the process by which new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges - a geological process that has shaped entire ocean basins over millions of years.
    During a research expedition in the Indian Ocean, scientists had just deployed a suite of instruments when a series of earthquakes triggered a seafloor spreading event, allowing them to observe the process as it unfolded.
    The findings offer rare new insights into how new oceanic crust forms and how the seafloor continues to evolve…”

    “Earth’s outermost layer - the crust - is constantly renewing itself. It’s broken into giant chunks called tectonic plates that pull apart, push against or slide past one another, creating grand geologic features.
    Underwater mountain ranges, or mid-ocean ridges, for instance, generally take shape where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. Magma can then bubble up in between, solidifying and turning into new oceanic crust as part of a process called seafloor spreading. Although the phenomenon has created entire ocean basins, it remains quite mysterious because it happens so deep in the water.
    Now, for the first time, scientists have observed this dynamic activity happening in real time. They describe their findings - and their stroke of luck - in a study [link above], shedding light on a mechanism that made roughly two-thirds of Earth’s crust…”

  5. Underwater Images From the Seychelles

    Photographs from a week of diving in the inner Seychelles — most shot from the liveaboard S.Y. Sea Bird, the rest from resort boat dives off Mahé. Seven galleries: reef, batfish, nudibranchs, octopus, ambush predators, echinoderms and coral restoration.

  6. Middle East states eye transport resilience with new logistics corridor to bypass Hormuz

    Middle Eastern governments are dusting off decades-old proposals for overland oil and gas pipelines, and urgently drawing up…

  7. Экипаж иранского вспомогательного корабля Bushehr решил в полном составе 208 человек сдаться властям Шри-Ланки.

    Это произошло после потопления иранского фрегата американской подводной лодкой недалеко от берегов острова.

    Власти Шри-Ланки проводили консультации не только с капитаном и экипажем корабля, но и с иранским посольством.

    В итоге шри-ланкийцы все же решили принять сдачу иранцев и заявили, что будут действовать на основе норм международного права.

  8. Some spinner dolphins, just for the love of them. Not sure Mastodon will work for me, but happy to find others working on marine conservation science or any of the hashtags:
