Transcript:
A secret eighth continent was recently discovered. No, I’m not referring to Greenland which is part of North America, I’m referring to this land on the other side of the planet. When you look at this area, you will only see New Zealand, but in 1895, the geologists discovered that there is an entire new continent hiding bellow New Zealand and New Caledonia, these two being just the tops of a mountain range.
In 1990s, the satellite images confirmed that indeed there is a submerged continent. This new continent called Zealandia has 95% of its land under the water and is considered the smallest of the continents with a land area of just 4.9 million square kilometers which is half of the European continent.
