AMAZING SIGHT IN THE SOUTH PACIFICThe yacht 'Maiken' was travelling 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.
The trail left by the yacht.. through the sandAnd then this was spotted... ash and steam rising from the ocean...
This is not a beach, it is volcanic stones floating on the water.
And, while they were watching...
A plume of black ash...
A brand new island formed...
Awesome! Can you imagine the thrill of being the first & only people to see a new island being created ... where there was nothing before?
