Largest underwater eruption EVER recorded gives birth to an enormous 2,690ft underwater volcano off the coast of Madagascar
The new volcano emerged in 2018 off the east coast of the island ofMayotte
French researchers mounted an expedition to study it in detail early in 2019
They planted sensors and used radar to scan an area over thousands of miles
The emergence of the volcano followed a 5.8 magnitude Earthquake in the area
It was the result of 1.2 cubic miles of lava pouring from the mantle to the seafloor.

Turns out when mayotte did the 17 second resonant magpulse, the biggest u/w volcano ever found got made. Did not know that.
