Scientists Create One of the Most Detailed Maps of the Ocean Floor, Find Close to 100,000 Submerged Mountains For decades, humanity has gazed at the stars, dreaming of Mars and the Moon, while a ...

An endangered species of sea lion has helped scientists in Australia to map their homes on the ocean floor, using cameras glued to their backs.

The map, compiled using high-resolution data from the SWOT satellite, has revealed the existence of nearly 100,000 submerged mountains, called seamounts, scattered across the ocean floor.

A joint satellite venture helmed by NASA has produced an ocean floor map with twice the resolution of previous images.

The sea lions have provided the research team with footage of six seafloor habitats, offering a new look at Australia's coastal topography and human impact on ocean ecosystems.

A humpback whale tethered to the sea floor by a rope was rescued off the coast of Australia after a local fisherman spotted the animal in distress, video shows.

Researchers in Australia used sea lions equipped with cameras and trackers to explore the ocean floor, capturing footage of marine life and mapping habitats.

For the first time ever, scientists have had help from sea lions in mapping the ocean floor. And the marine mammals have done their job well, capturing six different marine habitats, including ...
