It is not every day you can announce the discovery of thousands of new mountains on Earth, but that is what a US-European research team has done. New gravity data now gives us our clearest view yet of the shape of the ocean floor. What is more, these newly discovered peaks are all at least 1.5km high. The reason they have gone unrecognised until now is because they are at the bottom of the ocean. [Source: BBC News]
