Underwater Volcano Erupts on Video



New videos show the first ever observations of deep submarine volcanic eruptions. Most of the Earth's volcanic activity happens underwater, anywhere from the surface all the way down to depths greater than 2.5 miles.

In March 2004, a team of NOAAscientists sent a remotely operated research submarine, named ROPOS to find some hot vents along the Mariana Arc volcanic chain. "What we found was an eruption in progress," said Verena Tunnicliffe, a biologist at University of Victoria, Canada. "We found this big pit with rocks and molten sulfur flying out."
