Underwater volcano erupts...

in the South Pacific near Tonga. Link to recent news article with super spectacular pictures and video.

Hat tip: the Bu bro.

MAJOR UPDATE: A M7.9 earthquake has just occurred at this site or somewhere very close. We picked up the event on our departmental seismometer just moments ago, at approximately 11:20 PDT. Link to USGS earthquake information. A tsunami warning has been issued though I doubt any significant damage or loss of life will occur.
