SCIENTISTS have found a “yellow brick road” in a never-before-seen spot in the Pacific Ocean.

The expedition to the deep-sea ridge, just north of the Hawaiian Islands, has revealed an ancient dried-out lake bed, which looks as if it is paved with bricks.

The eerie scene was chanced upon by the exploration vessel Nautilus earlier this year, while surveying the Liliuokalani ridge within Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.

Although some of the scientists on the expedition joked it could be the “road to Atlantis”, it is in fact volcanic rock which has fractured in a way that looks strikingly similar to bricks.
