The Exploration Vessel Nautilus spotted a wild ocean floor feature that looked like a "yellow brick road to the mythical city of Atlantis" while studying the Liliʻuokalani Ridge.

The path to the Emerald City might travel along the ocean's bottom. The crew of the Exploration Vessel Nautilus caught sight of a strange-looking formation while studying an area called Liliʻuokalani Ridge in the Papahānaumokuakea Marine National Monument in the Pacific Ocean.
The feature resembles a road paved in cobblestones. Impressed researchers viewing live dive footage of the formation described it as a "yellow brick road" and "the road to Atlantis," and called it bizarre, cool and crazy in a video released last month.

Nautilus spent most of April studying the geology and biological systems of seamounts, underwater mountains with volcanic origins. "At the summit of Nootka Seamount, the team spotted a 'dried lake bed' formation, now ID'ed as a fractured flow of hyaloclastite rock (a volcanic rock formed in high-energy eruptions where many rock fragments settle to the seabed)," the team said. The brick-like patterns likely come from heating and cooling cycles connected to eruptions.
The exploration vessel is operated by the nonprofit Ocean Exploration Trust, which livestreams the ship's adventures, giving viewers a firsthand look at what its remote-operated diving vehicles see in the deep.

The dolphins built it just before saying, 'Thanks for all the fish' and flying away.
Was gonna say.. that ain’t no yellow brick road, but sulfur reserved for the day of final purification of this earth by fire.
What about Lemuria?
“The dolphins built it just before saying, ‘Thanks for all the fish’ and flying away.”
They are magical creatures we could learn so much from.
There is a similar “road” off the Bahama Islands.
😄 When my son asked if I thought that they were intelligent creatures I asked from where we learned to build hospitals and super highways.
