Social media users thought that they had discovered a huge black hole in the middle of the ocean on satellite maps. The image was so mysterious that crazy theories were produced as to whether the region was a censored military base, an area related to aliens, or a wonder of nature that has not yet been discovered.
However, after months of discussions, the truth appeared in November 2021!
It was announced that the black region in question is actually Vostok Island in the Pacific Ocean. This island was a deserted land of the Republic of Kiribati. So why did the island see completely dark? The secret of this area, which looks like a gigantic gap when viewed from space, was caused by the fact that it was covered with intense Pisonia trees.
Pisonia trees, which almost completely covered the surface of Vostok Island, formed such a busy forest that this showed the island like a jet black space on the satellite maps.
Although the mystery of Vostok Island, which is thought to be a black hole, was solved, the interest in the region did not diminish. A documentary published by National Geographic 15 years ago, revealed a legendary dive on this island. Diver Enric Sala, the island, told the island’s discovery dive to the coral reefs: ** “We have just returned from a dive on Vostok Island. It was an incredible experience! he made a reference to the famous television series. According to Brittanica, Vostok Island was first discovered in 1820 by Russian Antarctica Explorer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen. However, there is currently no human settlement belonging to the Republic of Kiribati.
