SUBMERGED MOUNTAIN
Discovery Off Chile Coast
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21
A scientific expedition has discovered a submerged mountain nearly two miles high in the Pacific Ocean, about 200 miles off the coast of Chile, the “Philadelphia Bulletin” said yesterday. A member of the newspaper’s staff worked his way aboard the Robert D. Conrad, jthe oceanographic research vessel from Columbia University’s Lamont Geological Observatory. He said the mountain towered 10,410 feet above the ocean floor and had at least two peaks. Its base sprawled across 20 miles of sandy, sedimentladen seabed.
