An extraordinary discovery under the earth’s surface; an international team of scientists has discovered a gigantic ocean located many kilometers within the Earth’s crust.

The body of water is estimated to be larger than the size of all oceans on Earth together. It might’ve formed at least two point five million years ago during the Archean period.

The water in the ocean is locked into the crystal structure of minerals.

Researchers say enormous pressure and temperatures over 15-hundered degrees Celsius is believed to have formed the giant ocean.
