This unusual structure explains why the island stays high above the Atlantic floor, even after its volcanoes went dormant millions of years ago. This discovery challenges existing geological models and suggests Earth's mantle holds more mysteries.

Bermuda still sits atop a broad swell, standing roughly 1,600 feet higher than the surrounding ocean floor, reports Carnegie Science.
