The shark volcano.




The image above is impressive, it is a volcanic eruption of an underwater volcano, but it is also a slightly strange volcano, and it has experts intrigued, photos that were taken on March 8 and have been published by the observatory of the NASA Earth, the column, that green current is the effect of an underwater eruption of the Kavachi volcano.


It is one of the most active underwater volcanoes in the Pacific, located in the Solomon Islands. Its shape is that of a cone mountain that rises to about 1,200 m above the Marine plain. Its summit is only 20 m below sea level. sea, so in the future this volcano will surely end up creating a new island, but this volcano is also strange and intriguing for scientists

The term according to the NASA statement, what NASA has said verbatim, is that it is a challenge for scientists, because the volcano is very active and is erupting every so often, large kabachi eruptions were observed in 2007 and in 2014; The volcano erupts almost continuously and residents of the Islands living near it often report visible steam and ash and other effects of the volcano, this is the normal part.


You will agree with me that an active volcano is not a good place to be near it, but in 2015 researchers observed that inside the crater of the volcano where the eruptions occur inside the crater there was a huge amount of marine life, there were bacterial mats orange and white in color, a huge amount of fish of various species and curiously sharks, many sharks, in fact there were so many sharks that the media began to call it Sarcano.


It is assumed that this occurs due to the nutrients provided by the volcano, but it is a quite rare and curious phenomenon because it is a very active volcano and therefore extremely dangerous for life.
