Long-lost continent found submerged deep under Indian Ocean
An ancient continent that was once sandwiched between India and Madagascar now lies scattered on the bottom of the Indian Ocean. Although Mauritius is only 8 million years old, some sparkly, iridescent flecks of rocks known as zircons crystals, found on the island’s beaches, date back almost 2 billions of years.
