Scientists are about to explore a mysterious ‘blue hole’ in the ocean - BGR

The appearance of mysterious “blue holes” on the ocean floor is a great reminder that the oceans still have some secrets to tell, and one particular blue hole is about to get the attention it deserves.

One of the more pressing questions is whether or not the water inside the hole is different than the ocean water above it.

The Green Banana is known for the abundance of life surrounding it, including fish and aquatic plants, so understanding what might be different about this area is important for researchers.

Almost like a probe NASA would send to another world, the large “lander” will be placed inside the Green Banana, while scientists collect samples and try to spot differences between the environment within the blue hole and outside of it.
