[Geology2] Fw: Phenomenon in South Pacific Ocean.

A yacht was traveling in the South Pacific when the crew came

across a weird sight. Look at these photos and try to imagine

the thrill of experiencing this phenomenon.






A BEACH? 
No! This is not a beach. 







It's Volcanic Stones floating on the water.

Actually these are not "stones" - but a type of pumice, a kind of igneous rock that is formed when a volcano erupts.!!

BUT WHERE IS THE VOLCANO?

SUCH AN UNBELIEVABLE SIGHT, I HAD TO TAKE THESE PICTURES BECAUSE I KNEW NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE IT! THE WAKE FROM MY YACHT, WE STAYED ON THE EDGE OF THE WATER. THEN THIS WAS SPOTTED: ASH AND STEAM RISING FROM THE OCEAN. And, while WE were watching,  A plume of black ash, a HUGE CLOUD.  COVERING EVERYTHING IN RED, EVEN THIS FAR AWAY. THEN THE SKY TURNED BLACK WITH ASH AND THE OCEAN TURNED GOLD FROM THE SUN'S REFLECTION. THEN OUT OF THE OCEAN, MOUNTAIN PEAKS ARISE ! THEN MORE ERUPTIONS; ASH AND CLOUDS. THEN MOUNTAIN PEAKS ROSE HIGHER WITHIN MINUTES. AND A BRAND-NEW ISLAND WAS FORMED !  THE CREATION OF MOUNTAINS ! CAN ! YOU IMAGINE THE THRILL OF BEING THE FIRST AND ONLY PEOPLE TO WITNESS A NEW ISLAND BEING CREATED WHERE THERE WAS NOTHING BEFORE?
