Two of the remotest places ever visited by humans are the moon and the deepest part of the ocean. Earth’s lowest point is called the “Challenger Deep,” a depression inside the southern end of the Mariana Trench—the deepest point in the western Pacific Ocean, located in the territorial waters of the Federated States of Micronesia, east of the Mariana Islands.

A new analysis of thousands of deep earthquakes has revealed several large structures at the base of the mantle.¹ Known as ultra-low velocity zones, these structures may give us better insight into the origins of hot spots which produced the Hawaiian Islands during the Flood year.

While searching for a missing plane on the ocean floor, scientists made an interesting geological discovery.

On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH330 disappeared with all 239 people on board somewhere over the southern Indian Ocean. So far, no pieces of the plane have ever been found on the ocean floor.

Recently, renewed activity has had scientists, and the general public alike, alarmed about an impending supervolcano eruption at Yellowstone.¹ However, as we predicted, this does not look to be the case.² New findings show that the volcanic activity has actually been waning since the Late Cenozoic,³ exactly when we believe the Flood was ending.⁴

Scientists from China, Sweden, and Australia have discovered what they claim is the oldest known parasite, publishing their results in Nature Communications.¹ The evidence comes from small tube-shaped objects attached to the shells of the host brachiopods.² Scientists speculate that these tubes contained some sort of parasitic worm.
