Diving to the ocean floor in a small submarine off the Galapagos Islands, coral reef, biologist Dr. Michelle Taylor and a colleague lived a moment over the weekend she’ll likely never forget.

“It was just the two of us and a pilot,” Taylor says. “I was just losing it. We were so excited.”

Taylor was part of a team that discovered a pristine, kilometres-long, ancient coral reef teeming with life in the Galapagos Islands Marine Reserve Sunday.

Global News spoke to Taylor and Dr. Stuart Banks onboard the research vessel Atlantis. They’re part of team mapping and taking samples from the ocean floor when they made the unexpected find.
