Melbourne: A cluster of submerged volcanoes, thought to be about 50 million years old, have been discovered around 250 kilometres off the coast of Sydney by a team of Australian scientists who were looking for lobster larvae.The four huge underwater volcanoes were spotted through sonar mapping of the sea floor by Australia's new ocean-going research vessel investigator last month during a search for the nursery grounds of larval lobsters.
"The voyage was enormously successful, not only did we discover a cluster of volcanoes on Sydney's doorstep, we were amazed to find that an eddy off Sydney was a hotspot for lobster larvae at a time of the year when we were not expecting them," chief scientist for the voyage Iain Suthers said.
