And then we spotted ash and steam rising from the ocean... |
 And, while we were watching ... |
In November 2006, the yacht 'Maiken' was traveling in the south Pacific near Tonga when the crew came across an unusual sight ... it was sand in the water, and the sand was floating ON TOP of the waves. Look at these photos and try to imagine the feeling, the thrill of experiencing this phenomenon. |
