Discover the fascinating geological phenomenon of 'Shadow Volcanoes' - the hidden remnants of volcanic activity across Eastern Australia. This video dives deep into the history of volcanic activity in the region, which started around 95 million years ago with the rifting of Australia and New Zealand and led to a sequence of eruptions that marked the landscape over millions of years.

However, these basaltic structures, less resistant to erosion than their silica-rich counterparts, have often been worn away, leaving only subtle traces detectable through Earth's magnetic fields. These are the 'Shadow Volcanoes,' unseen but undeniably influential in shaping the landscape. We explore the significance of these geological structures, especially for exploration and mining, shedding light on their impacts and calling for a more comprehensive recognition in official geological maps. Journey with us into the past to uncover these hidden gems of Earth's volatile history.
