About Kavachi Volcano
- It is a shallow submarine volcano located in the South Pacific Ocean, south of the remote Vangunu Island in the Solomon Islands.
- It sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a tectonically active region.
- It is one of the world’s few active and visible undersea volcanoes.
- It has been erupting on a regular (though thoroughly unpredictable) basis for many years, including several temporary island-building events.
- Eruptions typically produce steam plumes, ash, lava, and water discoloration due to volcanic gas release.
- The new islands formed are not large enough and coated with solid lava flows to be able to resist wave erosion.
- Notable eruptive activity has been recorded repeatedly since it was first documented in 1939.
