Mysterious Vapor Eruption
2005-07-03
No its not Ted Kenneddy nor Micheal Moore, its possibly a new volcano off of Japan
TOKYO — Japan's Coast Guard dispatched aircraft Sunday to survey a 3,300-foot-high column of steam rising from the Pacific Ocean off a small Japanese island, in a possible sign of an undersea volcanic eruption, officials said. The water vapor resembling a huge cloud, was seen from the island of Iwo Jima (search) on Saturday by Japanese troops stationed there, said Hiroshi Shirai, a spokesman for the Maritime Self-Defense Forces.

#8  There's another one of these in the Caribbean, with the delightful name of "Kick 'em Jenny." It blew and bubbled and shook up a passing steamer when Mt. Pelee was blowing up.

See "The Last Days of St. Pierre," Rutgers U. Press, in your local library.
