    Literally everywhere is part of a bigger sunken landmass. Just depends where you draw the contour lines.

      That’s true, but Zealandia would be the world’s largest microcontinent and links Aotearoa with New Caledonia and Rēkohu. Its topography is super cool and makes for a neat range for deep-sea, benthic organisms.

      See also: the Tonga–Kermadec Ridge to the northeast, which imo looks sick.

        largest microcontinent

        So still a completely arbitrary distinction based on subjective interest.

        Ah, that makes more sense. I did remember it being a Dutch acquisition.

        Dutch cartographers subsequently renamed Tasman’s discovery Nova Zeelandia from Latin, after the Dutch province of Zeeland. This name was later anglicised to New Zealand.

      Here’s an example:

      Limb of the victim of a curse.
      Temporary curse allows engagement with ghosts. The only way to fight back against ghosts, who are cursed beings, is to become cursed oneself.
      The safest method, however dreadful, is to cut off an arm of the dead.
