A team of scientists sent an underwater drone into the Devil’s Sinkhole, and the footage has left experts terrified. The expedition was meant to map the cave’s depths, but the device captured something entirely unexpected.
The Devil’s Sinkhole, a roughly 350-foot-deep vertical cave in Edwards County, Texas, has drawn attention for decades because of its unusual geology and the questions it leaves unresolved. Located about eight miles northeast of the small town of Rock Springs, the sinkhole opens as a roughly 50-foot-wide oval in flat limestone terrain and drops straight down. Settlers first documented it around 187…
A seven-person expedition is finally reaching the SS Edmund Fitzgerald after decades, using an underwater drone to inspect the legendary shipwreck resting in Lake Superior. Even before physical recovery began, the team was stunned when the drone reached the bridge area and captured images of something they never expected.
On November 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 729-foot freighter, sank in Lake Superior during a severe storm, taking the lives of all 29 crew members aboard. The ship had been one of the largest and most advanced freighters on the Great Lakes. For five decades, the exact cause of the sinking has been a subject of investigation and debate, with several competing theories proposed.A recent explora…
An underwater drone was sent to explore the wreck of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, and what its cameras captured was never supposed to be seen. The ship sank in Lake Superior in 1975, killing all 29 crew members, and its grave was long considered too dangerous to visit.
On November 10, 1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, a 729-foot freighter that had been the largest vessel on the Great Lakes when it was launched in 1958, sank during a severe storm on Lake Superior. All 29 crew members died. The ship sent no distress signal before disappearing from radar, and its last radio message, “We are holding our own,” was heard shortly before it was lost.In the years before th…
An underwater drone dove into Pavlopetri, the world’s oldest sunken city, off Greece’s coast. It found something terrifying.
The ruins of Pavlopetri lie in about three meters of water off the shore of Ponda Beach at the western end of Vatika Bay, in the southeastern corner of Laconia in southern Greece. The site sits in the narrow sea channel between the mainland and the island of Elafonisos, a short drive from the town of Neapoli. The remains cover roughly five hectares of seabed, about the size of seven football field…
