Underwater mountain twice height of Burj Khalifa discovered off coast of Guatemala
An underwater mountain taller than the world’s highest building has been discovered by scientists in Central America.
Schmidt Ocean Institute researchers discovered the seamount while mapping the sea bed off the coast of Guatemala.
Seamounts are underwater mountains usually formed from the remnants of extinct volcanoes.
The giant structure measures 5,249ft (1,600m), making it twice the height of the Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates.
