Submarine volcano

Very cool, and boiling hot.

Deepest volcano caught on Pacific Ocean video

Amazing video has been obtained in the Pacific Ocean of the deepest undersea eruption ever recorded.

The pictures show lavas bursting into the water at the West Mata submarine volcano, which is sited about 200km (125 miles) south-west of the Samoas.

The West Mata expedition was funded by the US National Science Foundation and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Go here. Imagine. The US doing science! Hallelujah!
