ACOUSTCIANS onboard Australian icebreaker RSV Nuyina have discovered an underwater canyon. The canyon was discovered when wild weather forced a temporary suspension of resupply work at Casey research station.

They found a 2100 metre-deep, 9000-metre-wide canyon, extending more than 25 nautical miles off the glacier front.
