The ANU-led team on November 10 departed on a three-week mission to retrieve 27 seismometers — instruments that record the motion of the ground during earthquakes — from the ocean floor near Macquarie Island in the Southern Ocean, Xinhua news agency reported. The instruments were deployed in October 2020 pointing at the Earth’s center and have been collecting data on extreme underwater earthquakes.
