According to ladbible, an expedition to a deep-sea ridge north of the Hawaiian Islands revealed what looks eerily like a yellow brick road.  The crew of the Exploration Vessel Nautilus found the rock formation using a remotely-operated vehicle to study the Lili’uokalani Ridge Seamounts in Hawaii. Their aim was to investigate a split in the seamount trail, with the origin of thousands of seamounts in the central and western Pacific oceans not completely understood.

They documented their findings live, which saw them stumble across the formation of what looks like a man-made yellow brick road with distinct rectangular blocks.

While the scientists explained that the reason the volcanic rock looked bizarrely similar was ‘related to heating and cooling stress’ from multiple volcanic eruptions.

 The Nautilus vessel is operated by non-profit Ocean Exploration Trust, live streaming the adventures of its crew so viewers can see first-hand what the vehicles are exploring.

Back in March, they found an interesting-looking sea creature while exploring the Kingman Reef National Wildlife Refuge, which is considered one of the most pristine coral reef ecosystems in the world.

They spotted a ‘toothy’ anglerfish, which apparently was grinning at the camera.

A statement from Nautilus Live said: “This anglerfish ... was first recorded on video over 1000 metres deep and has hands down the coolest facial expression underwater.”  

As for the yellow brick road, while it may not have been the road to the lost city, it does signal an intriguing discovery and a greater understanding of seabed geology.
