New continent discovered on Earth ?

[skysurfer]

In the news media they speak about a newly discovered continent. No, it is not on Mars or Venus, but just on Earth and for you Aussies, right next door.
It is called 'Zealandia' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealandia_(continent)). New Zealand and New Caledonia are the only land on it, the remaining 94% is submerged.

Ahhh, I should have guessed a Kiwi would have a far better explanation....:thumbsup: Keep the gene pool scum free...

Just wait till the local Maori get wind of it, there will be heaps of seabed and foreshore claims to deal with. And New Caledonia is now ours !! :P

Only problem is our Navy isn't big enough to patrol it regardless.... :shrug:
