Earth Has 8 Continents. Why Did We Miss One?

Pascal 

For 375 years, an entire continent was hiding in plain sight, obscured by the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean. It isn’t a collection of islands, and it isn’t just “part of Australia.” It is a massive, 4.9 million square kilometer landmass with its own mountains, its own ancient history, and its own geological heart.

In this episode of Geoscopy, Pascal travels from the Alps to the jagged peaks of New Zealand to uncover the story of Zealandia – Earth’s hidden 8th continent. #Geology #Zealandia #EarthScience #NewZealand #Tectonics #ScienceCommunication #Geography #Geoscopy
