How Islands are Born
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 close-up.
This is not a beach,
it is volcanic stones floating on the water
Taken from the middle of the floating sand.
The trail left by the yacht.
And then this was spotted... ash and steam rising from the ocean...
And, while they were watching...A plume of black ash shooting up from the middle of the formation.
A brand new island formed…
Can you imagine being the first person to see a new island being created?
