Insane footage shows undersea volcano eruption as 'Mother Nature tries to create an island'

Insane footage of an undersea volcanic eruption has been captured as “Mother Nature tries to create an island”.

Kavachi is a volcano that lies submerged in the southwest Pacific Ocean and is one of the most active submarine volcanoes in that area.

When these underwater volcanoes erupt, they have the ability to form a new island and hundreds of islands around the world have been created this way, including places like Hawaii, Indonesia and Iceland.

Now, we can watch Kavachi explode for ourselves thanks to footage caught and uploaded to YouTube by Discovery Canada.

The footage of Kavachi erupting can be viewed here:

In the video description, it said: “Wanna see how a new island is made? Check out this fantastic show Mother Nature has put on in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in the Solomon Islands.

“Watch the Kavachi undersea volcano as it erupts underwater. Will it finally make island status?”

In the clip, the footage of the underwater volcano erupting at the surface is described as “one of nature’s rarest sights” as it could spark the “creation of a new island”.

It goes on to emphasize just how rare it is, explaining that Kavachi has “emerged above the waves just a handful of times” in the last hundred years.

The calm ocean water is disturbed by the eruption, which can be seen bubbling at the surface.

However, this time Kavachi is not successful and the waves wash away any hope of the volcano forming a new piece of land.

The footage of the volcano erupting in the sea has captivated viewers who took to the YouTube comment section to share their reactions.

One user wrote: “Two minutes silence for all those who thought an Island would pop up with a coconut tree.”

Another joked: “Billionaires and rich people alike: hippity hoppity this is now my property.”

A third user said: “Don't give up Kavachi! Someday your efforts to form an island won't be swept away by the ocean!”

A fourth added: “Kavachi: ‘Im gonna create an island today’. Pacific Ocean: ‘Im about to end this volcano's whole career’.”

Another said: “Can we take a second to realize that the giant continents all started like this billions of years ago? Like damn it’s impressive how dynamic our planet is.”

And a sixth person joked: “Imagine you’re a map maker almost finished making the map and this is happening lol.”
