Hi,
this might be old, but i found it too interesting to be shared here.
In November 2006, the yacht 'Maiken' was traveling in the South Pacific when they came across a weird sight -
It was sand in the water, and the sand was floating ON TOP of the waves..
This is not a beach, it is 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...
Can you imagine the thrill of being the first & only people to see a new island being created, seemingly from nowhere?
Mother Nature in all her amazing splendor!!! An awesome sight to behold.
