A wound in the world

SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Canary Islands (AP) - British scientists have embarked on a mission to study a huge area on the Atlantic seabed where the Earth's crust is mysteriously missing and instead is covered with dark green rock from deep inside the planet.

[What's interesting about this story is tracking who mentions the Cardiff connection and who doesn't. Is there an anti-Welsh contingent at the CBC?]

I don't know. Is this a Torchwood expedition or isn't it?

One wonders if Torchwood is getting involved at all and whether it's related to the Rift

Hey, if that's kryptonite seeping up from underneath, then that means Earth has the same problem that blew up Krypton. Better put all the babies you can into rocketships!

Nah, only olivine. The blandest of all minerals, but it is everywhere, for some reason.

Kryptonite was pretty much everywhere, too. Now we know why: Poor Kal, not being a super-geologist, never realized what Green K really is.

It seems to be the day for interesting Earth sciences announcements. (http://nexstarman.livejournal.com/308955.html)

Having been watching a pile of old Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episodes lately, all I can say is, this has "giant radioactive submarine-grabbing sea monster" written all over it. ;)
