Underwater Cypress Forest from Ice Age Reveals Its Secrets
By Tia Ghose, Senior Writer | July 19, 2017 07:16am ET
 

Deep beneath the waves, miles from the coast of Alabama, lies a primeval underwater forest, a grove of giant cypress trees so fresh that their trunks still ooze sap when they're cut.

Most of the ancient giants, now covered with sea anemones and schooling fish, last grew roughly 50,000 years ago, making this underwater forest the oldest of its kind anywhere in the world.
