Scientists have discovered a “lost continent” under the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.

The island is actually sitting atop an undiscovered section of the 200-million-year-old “super-continent” Gondwana, which fragmented into Africa, South America, Antarctica, India and Australia nearly 180 million years ago, concluded a team of geologists headed by South Africa’s University of Witwatersrand.

  • And they have just discovered a continent under New Zealand which has been named Zealandia - perhaps it's an extension of the Gondwana "super-continent".
