Scientists from the University of Chicago made a discovery on a month-long scientific mission exploring the limestone deposits that form the Maldives. Scientists uncovered the remnants of seawater dating back to the Ice Age, tucked inside rock formations in the middle of Indian Ocean. They were studying those rocks to determine how sediments are formed in the area & when they tested the water, it was saltier than normal water.
