There's a series of underground structures in the Bahamas that bears a striking resemblance to the fabled Atlantis. And while these concretions aren't the remnants of a lost city, we do know that studying how they formed can give us insights into ocean currents, climate change, and could even give us insights into making cleaner, greener concrete.
