A huge underwater volcano has erupted deep within the Pacific Ocean sending plumes of water towards the surface seen from outer space. NASA satellite images captured the magnificent explosion of the Kavachi volcano, nicknamed Sharkano. A large plume of discoloured water can be seen emerging from the underwater volcano, which lies 15 miles south of Vangunu Island. Kavachi got its name from the sea creatures that are able to live within its harsh conditions and live deep within the ocean among floating fragments of rock. Scientists became familiar with the volcano in a 2015 oceanic study. Their findings revealed how fish and sharks can survive in the hot, sulphur infused, acidic waters surrounding the volcano. Two shark species, the silky and scalloped hammerhead, were filmed swimming in the submerged crater during a field trip.
