Capturing the violence of a submarine volcano in the Pacific
In short: Experience rare footage of one of the world's most active underwater volcanoes. This cinematic expedition captures the raw collision of superheated seawater and sulfur-rich plumes beneath the ocean surface.
The footage documents an eruption at Kavachi, located in the remote Solomon Islands within the Pacific Ring of Fire. It highlights extreme environmental conditions where steam explosions occur as molten activity meets the deep sea.
Filmed by Devon Massyn using a Sony A7S III and DJI Mavic 3, the expedition provides a rare visual record of submarine volcanic activity that has not been captured on film in over a decade.
