In a Kimberlite valley in northern Canada, scientists have discovered part of an ancient continent, debris of which are scattered across the Atlantic Ocean.

Scientists have found a fragment of the most ancient continental crust - the North Atlantic platform. The fragment was discovered on Baffin Island - between mainland Canada and Greenland - during a study of samples of kimberlite rocks containing diamonds. According to scientists, the North Atlantic platform split into parts about 150 million years ago. Its fragments were found in Greenland, Scotland and on the island of Labrador.
