Are you jealous of countries that have their own continent?
>Say hello to Zealandia, a huge landmass almost entirely submerged in the southwest Pacific.
>It's not a complete stranger, you might have heard of its highest mountains, the only bits showing above water: New Zealand.
>Scientists say it qualifies as a continent and have now made a renewed push for it to be recognised as such.

This is how it would look if most of it weren't submerged under water.

>Lost continent under Mauritius
The unusually high gravity measurements over Mauritius suggested there was a deep continental mass below the island that had previously been uncharacterized.

There's nothing wrong with landing more land!
If you get the gist, my dude.

Fucking ocean, give us our land.
If Zealandia can be it's own underwater continent, why can't Atlantis?
>>71324157
Zealandia is a Continental plate, midatlantic Ridge isn't

Getting Kerguelen up would be neat too, but how to jack a continental plate up 1-2 kilometres at once? Even if you could, a lot of countrys might be endangered by tsunamis/quakes then.
Doing it like the dutch will needs hundreds of year and only works with very shallow water.
Filling the space up by just throwing sand into the sea means you would have to dig a huge hole somewhere else and transport it.
