Quote:
A new volcanic island has risen from the South Pacific near Tonga, according to reports from two vessels that passed the area.

The crew of the Maiken, a yacht that left the northern Tongan islands group of Vava'u in August, reported on their Web log on August 12 that they saw streaks of light, porous pumice stone floating in the water -- then "sailed into a vast, many-miles-wide belt of densely packed pumice."

They posted photos of huge "pumice rafts" that they encountered after passing Tonga's Late island while sailing toward Fiji.

The Maiken's photos are over here: http://yacht-maiken.blogspot.com/2006/08/stone-sea-and-volcano.html

And the best part:

Quote:
"We were so fascinated and busy taking pictures that we plowed a couple of hundred meters into this surreal floating stone field before we realized that we had to turn back," wrote a crewman identified only as Haken.

The next day they spotted an active volcanic island, Haken wrote.

Is Haken looking for a new place to put the servers?

We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

It would be nice. However, I have always wanted a Batcave.

Do volcanoes have bats? Bats are cool.
