Art meets science: See the first detailed illustration of an ancient deep-sea mountain

Rising mountain peaks and sharp rock formations cover the ocean floor, with corals, sponges, fish, and tons of sea creatures clinging to their sides. Unlike mountains on land that dare climbers and hikers to brave their peaks, underwater mountains, called seamounts, are vastly underexplored. Submerged at often unfathomable depths, many are inaccessible to even the most experienced divers.
