Biggest underwater volcanic eruption in Pacific Ocean: Covers 600 miles, forms pumice island
It took six years for researchers to uncover the truth behind the strange substance spreading across the Pacific Ocean, spotted by an airline passenger in 2012.

However, it was discovered that the Havre volcano, discovered in 2002 and located 600 miles off the coast of New Zealand, had erupted, leaving behind a floating raft of rock.
