- Scientists have discovered a sixth ocean at approximately 700 kilometres beneath the Earth's surface.
- This ocean is three times larger than all surface oceans combined.
- This pool of water is trapped within a blue rock formation known as ringwoodite, situated deep within the Earth’s mantle.
- However, the water reservoir is not an ocean in the traditional sense.
- They are water molecules trapped within the crystal structure of ringwoodite.
