An almighty discovery has been made during an expedition in the Atacama Trench, an 8,000-meter-deep formation that stretches along the length of Peru and Chile. Here, Scientists on a research expedition onboard Schmidt Ocean Institute’s R/V Falkor (too) found Chile’s deepest and northernmost cold seeps at a depth of 2,836 meters (9,304 feet). Cold seeps are areas where hydrocarbons like methane form bubbles along the ocean floor. They get harder to find the deeper you go, and locating these record-breaking seeps took over 12 hours using seafloor mapping data.
