Recommended Posts

I got this email yesterday-

A submarine volcano named Home Reef in the South Pacific nation of Tonga erupted in August 2006.
A sequence of images from MODIS on both Aqua and Terra document the eruption and the subsequent "sea of stone". These images are currently featured on the OceanColor web:

It has a cool link that has
photos of the plume and also a pumice raft seen taken from a yacht


Also one about the Home Reef.


I just heard radio story about this "new island" on PRI's The World

Ain't mother nature got some cool shit in her bag of tricks? B|

If you guys are interested in stuff like this, I can post more links - our planet is alive. She's constantly rearranging bits and pieces here and there, throwing up stuff over there, taking stuff down out here...
