Scientists found mysterious lines of holes on the Pacific seafloor; even sediment samples failed to reveal what made them
- PC: National Oceanic and Atmospheric AdministrationScientists exploring the deep sea have discovered unusual patterns of holes in seafloor sediment, but their origin remains unknown despite closer examination and sediment sampling.
- NOAA’s Voyage to the Ridge 2022 expedition observed the formations at depths of about 2,540 metres, with further sightings between 1,440 and 1,500 metres.
- Researchers documented holes in 2004 along the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, north of the Azores.
