so we’re in the Solomon Islands to study
a submarine volcano called vivace and
it’s dangerous a little bit yeah
absolutely we were scared kavagi is
usually erupting spewing like hot lava
ash when we went out it was not erupting
free to kill for one pop it goes so
we’re dropping this camera down
primarily to take a closer look at the
volcano the water is hot it’s acidic
it’s hostile enough the sea interesting
biology is just a bonus
let me go get the data before I start
getting too excited to carry it away
it comes the Skype booty oh yeah I
wonder if that’s his little cave home
thingy there you know that has the motor
so cool like like I’m what was that hey
something that you shadow of something
there’s something off the idea of there
being large animals like sharks hanging
out and living inside the caldera this
volcano conflicts with what we know
about kavagi which is that it erupts but
when it’s erupting there’s no way
anything could live in there and so the
see large animals like this that are
living and potentially you know they
could die at any moment it brings up
lots of questions do they leave do they
have some sort of sign that it’s about
to erupt you know do they blow up
sky-high in little bits the fact that we
saw animals in the plume like that that
opens up all kinds of interesting
questions that’s the best project is to
go out with one question and come back
with many and that’s exactly what
happened here
