What is the only location on Earth where the abyssal mantle is exposed above sea level?
Quirkyquantummechani...
The Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago in the North Atlantic are the only location were you can find the abyssal mantle above sea level. Located 62 miles (100 kms) from the Equator, the islands are claimed by Brazil, who have built a research station on them. They were discovered in 1511 by the Portuguese.
