So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Pumice is a very light volcanic rock. In the volcano, the pressure decreases as the magma rises to the surface, since the pressure on the magma is due to the overlying rock. Just before it reaches the surface, the pressure gets so low that gas, which had previously been squashed into the liquid, comes back out as a gas again, making bubbles in the liquid. These bubbles coalesce to form larger bubbles, until there are almost more bubbles than magma. The pieces of magma get stretched out to form the bubble walls. If the bubbles continue to grow, eventually the bubble walls will shatter, and the pieces of bubble-wall will be thrown out of the volcano and float to the ground as ash. That's why pieces of ash are so angular-looking. If, however, the magma gets thrown out at that intermediate time, when the bubbles had been made but they weren't broken yet, then the result freezes into pumice, a rock filled with gas and holes that is so light it floats on water. "When you see pumice floating all around your boat," continued my advisor, "this means that an eruption has just taken place perhaps immediately below you in the ocean. An explosive eruption under that much pressure [the pressure of the ocean water] requires a large amount of gas, and that gas gets released into the ocean water." Now get this: If enough gas is released into the ocean water, the water will temporarily be reduced in density. That is, the column of water below the ship will be composed of a large portion of gas in addition to water. This makes a boat that is normally buoyant into the equivalent of a block of lead, because buoyancy depends on the relative densities of the two objects. "Some Japanese fishing boats have radioed for help, citing just the same conditions that I have just described to you now." He pauses for effect. "Those boats were never heard from again." 5 Comments. wow. that's scary and interesting. glad that you are still in one piece. » renaye on 2008-04-16 08:24:21 There's some sort of marine predator... I vaguely remember that it hunts with bubbles in much the same fashion as your volcano hunts boats. It uses the bubbles to trap prey in an ever-tightening circle. » middaymoon on 2008-04-16 09:02:21 Freaky. :0 » randomjunk on 2008-04-17 01:14:29 Zanzibar's safety tip for the day: If you see volcanic rocks floating in the water, your boat is about to be effed up. Pretty cool stuff though, and even cooler is that I understood it...I feel educated, smart even! Also, in the new Incredible Hulk trailer, when the Hulk and the Abomination are running down the street toward each other, a sign briefly flashes by that reads "Zanzibar's."
