    "The 1,600-meter seamount covers 14 square kilometers and sits 2,400 meters below sea level... This marks the ninth #seafloor #discovery since the #ResearchVessel #Falkor (too), was launched in March... #Seamounts are #biodiversity hotspots, providing surfaces for #DeepSea #corals, #sponges, and a host of #invertebrates... There are more than 100,000 #unexplored seamounts taller than 1,000 meters."
