In 2018, an intense series of earthquakes were felt on the island of Mayotte. These earthquakes were due to the largest submarine volcanic eruption which had ever been recorded. In the span of only a few months, a new 2,500 foot tall and 3 mile wide volcano had been constructed on the ocean floor. It involved 5 cubic kilometers of lava, and caused a caldera collapse. This video will discuss this eruption, and mention how it occurred.
