Powerful volcanic eruptions never go unnoticed… They bring tons of lava, havoc and devastation. But it turns out, in 2012 we missed a massive eruption happening in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. How could it go unnoticed? Scientists found out about it only a few years later.
The 2012 Kermadec Islands eruption was a major undersea volcanic eruption. For comparison, it was 10 times the size of the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption in Iceland. Basically, a planetary-scale catastrophe happened, and… no one’s knew about it. How was it possible?
