British scientists have found the worlds deepest undersea volcanoes. The volcanoes called "black smokers" were found 5000 meters deep in the Cayman Trough below the surface of the Caribbean. The scientists called this expedition a "painstaking process" as they has to map out the whole Cayman Trough and then use advanced solar technology to pinpoint the volcanoes.

I think that this is an amazing discovery. As it states in the article these undersea volcanoes hep us understand how the world was shaped. It is amazing that we have the kind of technology to help us find things which are so rare and incredibly hard to find.
