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?
An awesome sight to behold.
