A massive deep-sea graveyard holds five-million-year-old whale fossils

In the southeastern Indian Ocean, a vast underwater canyon known as the Diamantina fracture zone serves as a final resting place for hundreds of prehistoric giants. This site, located roughly 1,000 kilometers west of Perth, is the oldest, deepest, and most extensive whale graveyard ever recorded. Some of the fossilized remains found there have been resting on the seafloor for more than 5 million years.
