Amazing photos - Birth of an Island in the South Pacific
6/20/2007 2:11:50 PM

I had to share these photos along with the explanation I received from my friend in her email.

Amazing sight in the South Pacific

August 2006, the yacht 'Maiken' is travelling 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.

 

 

 

The trail left by the yacht...

 

 

 

And then this was spotted... ash and steam rising from the ocean...

 

And, while they were watching...

 

 

 

 

A brand new island formed...

 

 

A plume of black ash...


 Pretty wild, huh?

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for sharing these pictures ... that is really neat!

Thanks for sharing this with us.

What is the object standing vertical on the new island?

Hello Beth,

Glad you and your kids enjoyed the photos.

I was completely fascinated when I saw them too -
We all probably thought that all land had been
discovered by now.

Hello John,

I did not take these photos, I am only sharing them
from a friend.

However I think that 'object' as you call it is the Black plume of smoke raising up in the middle and white
steam or clouds rising from the side of the black smoke.
