“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 ...

Found – one lost continent, hiding underneath a tropical holiday destination. It might sound implausible, but deep at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, a research team, led by South Africa’s ...

The Indian Ocean geoid low (IOGL) is a 1.2 million-square-mile (3 million square kilometers) depression found 746 miles (1,200 kilometers) southwest of India.

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 ...

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).
