Eruption of West Mata Deep-Ocean Volcano

The West Mata volcano was discovered in May 2009 nearly 4,000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, in an area bounded by Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. It is the deepest erupting volcano discovered to date. Superheated molten lava, about 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit, is about to explode into the water in this image. The area in view is about 6-10 feet across in an eruptive area approximately the length of a football field that runs along the summit of the volcano.
