August 2006, the yacht 'Maiken' is traveling in the south Pacific when they came across a weird sight...
It was sand in the water, and floating ON TOP of the waves... But continue on...
This is not a beach, it is volcanic stones floating on the water.
The trail left by the yacht...
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...
