This is such a incredible coincidence to be able to actually see this in the expanse of the Pacific Ocean!
The yacht 'Maiken' is traveling in the south Pacific when they came across a weird sight...
It was sand in the water and floating ON TOP of the waves...
This is not a beach, it is volcanic stones floating on the water.
And then this was spotted... ash and steam rising from the ocean...
And, while they were watching...
A brand new island formed... Pretty wild, huh?

  • @vaaib God does not agree.

  • Dibs.

  • funny

  • Wait so was instantly or over the course of an hour or more? Because I didn't think Lava could even cool that fast.

  • @kozmon0t cheap house heating?

  • @danschaoticmind They are indeed, I remember being so baffled when I was younger... kinda like SEM and ... woosh.. I have no idea, please educate me lol google didn't help. I do know however that its due to the speed of the cooling and de-pressurisation of the lava spewing up that cause a "matrix formation" of bubbles inside. Do you know if they have CO2 still inside, never considered that...

  • @Tubz101 Pumice is one of the most interesting rock types IMO produced from volcanic eruptions. Especially at the SEM level where individual radiation decay pits are observed.

  • in Seychelles on curtain beaches facing the open oceans where i used to body board, small volcanic stone formations would float on the waves. apparently they are sometimes spewed out from the ocean bottoms. There are very lightweight an porous too. good for sharpening needles.

    for people that are unsure think of its as heavy as vermiculite or perlite :)

    Nice pics, very very very rare footage
