For over seventy years, a mysterious gravitational depression beneath the Indian Ocean has baffled scientists. Known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), it marks the deepest point in Earth’s gravity ...

There is a place on Earth where the laws of gravity as we know them do not apply. Officially known as “the Indian Ocean geoid low” (IOGL), it is informally referred to as the Indian Ocean gravity hole ...

Bottom line: There's a well-known "hole" in Earth's gravity field just off India's coastline, known as the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL). A new study is providing a potential explanation for this ...

The Indian Ocean looks flat from above, but one part of it sits far lower than it should. South of India, the sea surface dips so deeply that scientists have spent decades trying to explain what could ...

Researchers think they’ve found the reason for the most significant drop in Earth’s gravity, known as the Indian Ocean geoid low. In this location in the Indian Ocean south of Sri Lanka, our planet’s ...
