Australian scientists have discovered a massive detached coral reef just off Cape York on the Great Barrier Reef that’s taller than the Empire State Building. The 500m high reef was discovered while a team from James Cook University were mapping the northern Great Barrier Reef seabed.

I really hope the local govt makes this off limits.. or how long before someone makes money of this and turns it into tourist attraction.
An extinct ancient civilization maybe?
Imagine how much larger reefs would have been when Sea Levels were much higher.
Cliff…
Just look at it. Teeming with life as it should be. Not a pale crusted husk of shards left behind by humanity's worst examples.
I shall never stop fighting for a Resource Based Economy. The more I think about how we structure our society, the more crazy it becomes. Making stuff to break down so it makes people buy more.. to keep a system of annihilation going. Totally back-washed primitive culture with NO education. Jacque Fresco was right… Man is the dumbest creature.

You gotta be a special kind of person to dislike this… they’re called Karen’s and Ken’s
where is the skyscraper
It is a SEASCRAPER !
They found nemo….. mission complete
wonderful to see nature surviving, stories like this would also help raise awareness that the reef needs protecting from the Government destroying it with their business practices.
Great now destroy it make way for another shipping lane
Now that it has been discovered, not long till we destroy it
DONT TOUCH IT
Now humans just have to leave it alone!!!
I bet there’s some great oil underneath this thing
That’s if it is still there in a couple years
beewdaful
Amazing discovery.
Why would anyone hit a dislike on a video of this type.. Genuinely surprised.
It's mad that no one knew about this?? SpaceX should make a SeaX
Must be protected
Finding nemo
Wow.
