Welsh scientists in journey to Earth's crust Mar 2 2007 Sally Williams, Western Mail WELSH scientists are to undertake a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea-style mission to investigate a huge hole in the earth's crust on the sea bed. The team of scientists from Cardiff University stress there is no need for the public to panic about the giant hole even though they describe it as "a gaping open wound in the Earth's skin". Dr Chris MacLeod, a marine geologist from the School of Earth, Ocean and Planetary Science at Cardiff University, said the Earth's crust was missing in an area covering thousands of square kilometres. The big gap is midway between the Cape Verde Islands and the Caribbean, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. They say the sea isn't going to be sucked away - although they admit the discovery defies science. icwales.icnetwork.co.uk
