AMAZING
SIGHT IN THE SOUTH
PACIFIC
In
November 2006, 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.
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... 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?
