the birth of a New Island

A yacht was travelling in the south Pacific when the crew came across a weird sight. Look at these photos and try to imagine the thrill of experiencing this phenomenon.

A beach? In the middle of the vast ocean?

Well, No..This is not a beach.

it is volcanic stones floating on the water.

WHERE IS THE VOLCANO? U ask?

UNBELIEVEABLE SIGHT, SO THEY TOOK PICTURES OF IT. OTHERWISE, NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE IT

THE WAKE OF THE SHIP

STAYED ON THE EDGE OF THE WATER

Then this was spotted..ash and steam rising from the ocean..

And, while THEY were watching...

A plume of black ash...HUGE CLOUD. COVERING RED EVEN THIS FAR AWAY

THEN THE SKY TURNS BLACK WITH ASHAND THE OCEAN GOLD WITH SUNS REFLECTION

OUT OF THE OCEAN MOUNTAIN PEAKS ARISE?

MORE ERUPTIONS ASH AND CLOUDS

THE MOUNTAIN PEAKS RISE HIGHER WITHIN MINUTES

And a brand new island formed...

CREATION OF MOUNTAINS

Can you imagine the thrill of being the first & only people to see a new island being created where there was nothing before?

But they were lucky they weren't in the middle of it when that happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't be living to tell the tale :)

Awesome.
