The Discovery of Zealandia: Unveiling the Eighth Continent
The year 2016 saw an unusual incident that sparked debates not only among social media users but also within the realm of geography and exploration. On May 24th, a traveler and blogger named Khloe Phillips Harris attempted to enter Kazakhstan while carrying a passport from a non-existent state: New Zealand. The event, described as fantastical by some and dismissed as hype by others, led to official denials from Kazakh border guards due to a lack of proper visa. However, less than a year later, the academic world was rocked by significant findings, suggesting that our understanding of continents might expand to include an eighth: Zealandia.
