The only lands on Earth that have not been extensively explored are those that have been lost to the oceans. After the end of the last Ice Age extensive landscapes that had once been home to thousands of people were inundated by the sea. Although scientists predicted their existence for many years, exploration has only recently become a reality.

Professor Vince Gaffney from the Drowned landscapes exhibit taking part in the 2012 Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition discusses his work.
