Marine Biologist Finds Something Incredibly Huge Hidden Inside The Indian Ocean

“A beach is not only a sweep of sand, but shells of sea creatures, the sea glass, the seaweed, the incongruous objects washed up by the ocean”, says the great American Journalist, Henry Grunwald. And certainly, the ocean is so vast, it seems like it’s never-ending.

What all an ocean can hold is beyond our perception, and incomparable. When in 2017, Asha de Vos, a marine mammal researcher started an expedition in the Northern part of the Indian Ocean, she and her team made a breath-taking discovery which no one was prepared for.

It is incredible how for some people, a simple and ordinary day can turn out be the day they create history on. Asha de Vos and her team experienced a day like this, and pages were added in the books of history.

Asha de Vos

Asha de Vos, returned to her homeland after she had completed her studies abroad and earned a Ph.D. in Marine Mammal Research. And this started the story of the great discovery. Asha de Vos had decided to carry forward a big task. She had embarked on a journey to research about blue whales in the Indian Ocean. Instead, what she was going to come across would be something she would have never anticipated. In the hopes to do something for the welfare of whales, Asha de Vos and her team started their expedition in February of 2017. The boat was packed and filled with types of equipment. However, the whole team was unaware that they would witness the biggest adventure of their lives.
