the Chilean members from ESMOI, together with the Councilor of the Sea, proposed the name \u201cMana\u201d, or \u201csacred energy\u201d in the Rapanui language.\u00a0 The peak of the mount is found at 265 m (870 feet) below the sea with its base at more than 3500 m (11,500 feet) on the abyssal plain.\u00a0 The crew was able to completely map \u201cMana\u201d to study its topographic features and to film one of its sides from a depth of 1000 m (3280 feet) to its peak, at the same time that they collected samples of incalculable scientific value.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, the majority of the animals observed and collected on the \u201cMana\u201d seamount correspond to the first registry in the Chilean archive of marine biodiversity, or even species new to science.\u00a0\u00a0 Given the volume of samples and data, analysis is going to take some time and the results will be published next year at the earliest.\u00a0 However, this information will contribute to the protection of the emblematic ecosystems that were visited, especially those of the Nazca-Desventuradas and Motu Motiro Hiva marine parks.<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/moevarua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Una-desconocida-especie-de-erizo-de-mar-del-monte-Mana-An-unknown-species-of-sea-urchin-from-the-Mana-seamount.-.jpg\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px;
