A 0.8 km linear formation of rectangular limestone blocks submerged off the coast of Bimini. Discovered in 1968, its remarkably regular geometry has sparked debate between those who see it as a man-made ancient road or wall and geologists who attribute it to natural beach-rock fracturing.

Discovered in 2011 by Swedish treasure hunters using sonar, this 60-meter circular formation on the Baltic seabed resembles a disc-shaped object with what appears to be a 300-meter 'skid mark' trail behind it. Scientific analysis suggests natural geological formation, but some features remain unexplained.

Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance was crushed by pack ice and sank in the Weddell Sea in 1915 during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. In March 2022, the Endurance22 expedition found the wreck in pristine condition at 3,008 meters, with the ship's name still clearly visible on the stern.

The most famous shipwreck in history, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912 and sank, killing over 1,500 people. The wreck was discovered in 1985 by Robert Ballard at a depth of 3,800 meters using the Argo remotely operated vehicle. The ship is deteriorating due to iron-eating bacteria and may completely collapse by 2030.

The deepest known point on Earth, Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench hosts extremophile organisms thriving under 1,086 bars of pressure. Recent expeditions have discovered new species, microplastic contamination at maximum depth, and xenophyophores — giant single-celled organisms.
