A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters has uncovered new insights into one of Earth’s most puzzling ...

A security specialist in the Western Indian Ocean sees how countries work together to counter the threat of a massive oil ...

There is a “gravity hole” in the Indian Ocean — a spot where Earth’s gravitational pull is weaker, its mass is lower than normal, and the sea level dips by over 328 feet (100 meters).

The ocean holds some of the deepest, most mysterious places on Earth, and in this video, we take you on a thrilling journey to the maximum depths,the abyss. The deeper we go, the darker and more alien ...

“But the geoid low in the Indian Ocean is one of the most profound gravitational anomalies on our planet.” The gravity hole likely took its current shape about 20 million years ago and will ...

The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is a region where Earth's mass is reduced, leading to weak gravitational pull, lower-than-average sea levels and a puzzle scientists have only just begun to solve.

Officially known as “the Indian Ocean geoid low” (IOGL), it is informally referred to as the Indian Ocean gravity hole. At the IOGL, the sea level dips by a staggering 328 feet (100 meters ...

A whole area of the Indian Ocean is about 300 feet lower than the average sea level. Scientists now think they know what's causing the anomaly.

An Indian experiment module fell out of space and crashed into the Indian Ocean this month, just a few months after launching into orbit, but not because of a failure. Skip to main content.
