Researchers in Spain have uncovered lost islands that sank into the ocean millions of years ago .

The newly discovered seamount, or underwater mountain, is called Mount Los Atlantes .

The islands would have been a series of islands during the Eocene ( 56 million to 34 million years ago) Once the volcanoes stopped erupting, the lava solidified and became denser, causing the islands to sink.
