Marine researchers have found a 500-metre-high reef on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, taller than the Empire State Building in the United States, the Sydney Tower in Australia and the Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. CNN reported on the 28th that the Schmidt Institute of Oceanography in the United States reported that researchers found this coral reef when they drew a map of the seabed of the northern part of the Great Barrier Reef on the 20th. On the 25th, researchers used the underwater robot "Subastian" to investigate this coral reef. Live footage showed that the bottom of the reef is blade-shaped, 1500 meters wide, and the highest point is only 40 meters from the sea.
