The Atlantis II Deep is a deep sea submarine basin located in the Red Sea, notable for containing hot brines. [1] It holds the largest known hydrothermal ore deposit on the seabed. [2] Atlantis II Deep contains amounts of copper, cobalt, and zinc that exceed normal seawater traces by around 1000 times. The upper 33 feet of the basin holds a relatively small but rich deposit of valuable metals.
