Scientists Drill 1.2 Kilometres into Atlantic Ocean Mantle
Aug 9, 2024, 01:38 PM
Scientists have successfully completed a record-breaking expedition to the Mid-Atlantic ocean ridge, extracting nearly a mile of rocks from beneath the Atlantic Ocean floor. This significant achievement marks the deepest drilling into Earth's mantle to date, reaching 1.2 kilometres. The extracted rocks are expected to offer valuable clues about the origins of life and the mechanisms that drive oceanic volcanoes. This expedition represents a major milestone in understanding what lies beneath Earth's crust.
