Deep Volcanic Explosion: The Video

The previous post reminded of this video we posted awhile back.


From Youtube: This is the largest explosive burst that was observed at the Brimstone Pit during the Submarine Ring of Fire 2006 Exploration Jason dive J2-192. There were probably even larger bursts that could not be seen, at times when the eruption plume was so extensive and thick that we could not get near the vent.
