Mysterious islands have been discovered deep in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands .

Scientists have christened the newfound seamount “ Lost Atlantes ” in honour of the fabled civilisation that the gods drowned out as punishment for its immorality.

Researchers say that around 56 to 34 million years ago, Los Atlantes consisted of a series of islands topped by three volcanoes.
