Random Samples

A new island was born in the Pacific last month, and scientists were there to see it. An Australian research vessel, returning to Darwin from the Solomon Islands with a huge "black smoker" retrieved from an undersea thermal vent, arrived at the so-called Kavachi seamount just as it began a series of violent eruptions, spitting lava 70 meters into the air and belching sulfurous steam plumes. The event gave scientists a chance to sample freshly formed rocks and monitor the effects of the outburst on the surrounding ocean.
