A deep-sea study at one of the world's largest marine conservation areas revealed an alarming sight. The ‘Ocean Exploration Trust’ researchers were leading the expedition when they came across what seemed to be a paved road. The paved region was observed using the exploration vessel Nautilus and was dubbed the "yellow brick road" and "road to Atlantis" by researchers.

According to the Nautilus website, the vessel was snooping around the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM) off the Hawaiian Islands at the time of the discovery. PMNM is a world heritage site that spans 15 lakh square kilometers and covers the North-western Hawaiian Islands. Researchers observed this scene while investigating the Lili'uokalani Ridge on the Nautilus. The EV Nautilus captured the moment it came across the paved road-like structure. It is not, however, a route to Atlantis, the legendary metropolis. In actuality, according to Nautilus' YouTube page, it's just “an example of ancient active volcanic geology."
