Floating Volcanic Stones and New Island in the South Pacific


AMAZING SIGHT IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC The yacht 'Maiken' was traveling in the south Pacific when the crew came across a weird sight. It was sand in the water, and the sand was floating ON TOP of the waves... Look at these photos and try to imagine the feeling, the thrill of experiencing this phenomenon close-up.

This is not a beach, it is volcanic stones floating on the water.

The trail left by the yacht... through the sand
And then this was spotted ... just behind them... ash and steam rising from the ocean...

Awesome!

Can you imagine the thrill of being the first & only people to see a new island being created ... where there was nothing before?

Then, can you imagine thinking -- "Gee if I been a few minutes later, I might have gone up in that explosion of black volcanic ash when the eruption occurred"

-- Now there's a scary thought!!!
