These are some outstanding photos...... ..this happened in 2006. A yacht was traveling 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?
NO! This is not a beach;
It is volcanic stones floating on the water.
WHERE IS THE VOLCANO?
UNBELIEVABLE SIGHT, SO TAKE PICTURES.
THE WAKE OF MY SHIP
This was spotted, ash and steam rising from the ocean..
And later, while we were watching...
A plume of black ash...HUGE CLOUD.
COVER OF RED EVEN THIS FAR AWAY
THEN THE SKY TURNED THE WATER THE COLOR OF THE SUN’S REFLECTION
OUT OF THE OCEAN MOUNTAIN PEAKS ARISE?
MORE ERUPTIONS ASH AND CLOUDS
THE MOUNTAIN PEAKS RISE HIGHER WITHIN MINUTES
A brand new island formed.
CREATION OF MOUNTAINS
Can you imagine the thrill of being the first and only people to see a new island being created where there was nothing before? Amazing!
And after that you need humor? Oh, well ...
A sight impaired man was in a grocery store with her guide dog, when the manager asked, “Is that a blind dog?” “I hope not,” the man replied, “or we’re both in trouble.”

The dog owner was at the vet’s to buy a training video for his pet. “How does this work?” she asked. “Do I just have him watch it?”
Amazing but good thing he wasn't much closer, or there sooner. Getting pelted with volcanic stones can't be fun. BTW, can't see ash here but mail and air travel is delayed again.
ReplyDeleteI remember, in elementary school, and I have no idea now how to spell it, but Sertsee (that looks wrong, but that's how it sounded) Island rising just like that. Over the next year or two we followed along with how the scientists watched plant life coming from--?!--in the middle of the ocean, growing on the sides of the new mountain. Fascinating stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat? And it didn't take billions and billions of years?!?!
