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...Awesome! Tonga volcanic eruption seen by yacht crew08 Nov 2006, 18:07​

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

Thats pretty cool. Even if the third and fourth pics look like photoshop. Where exactly is this in the south pacific?
