There's an 8th Continent on Earth - You've Never Heard of It

How many continents are there on Earth? You'd probably say seven. But scientists have been arguing for years that there's actually an eighth one hiding right here. It's ninety-four percent underwater. It's located beneath the Pacific Ocean. And until recently, nobody had ever mapped it. But now, scientists have finally figured out exactly where it lies - and how massive it really is. Nearly 5 million square kilometers. About twenty times bigger than New Zealand. So why isn't it on our maps? Why doesn't it feel official? And what does it tell us about Earth's past that we might never see on land?
