The Nekton Maldives Mission makes history after the expeditors mapped a deep-sea mountain off the coast of Maldives; famously known among Maldivian fishermen as ‘Satho Rahaa.’
The area is called "Satho Rahaa" by local fisherman in honor of the Japanese scientist who first attempted to explore it over a generation ago.
