One of the Biggest Volcanic Eruptions Happened, And We Missed It

Powerful volcanic eruptions never go unnoticed… They bring tons of lava, havoc and devastation. But it turns out, in 2012 we missed a massive eruption happening in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. How could it go unnoticed? Scientists found out about it only a few years later.

The 2012 Kermadec Islands eruption was a major undersea volcanic eruption. For comparison, it was 10 times the size of the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption in Iceland. Basically, a planetary-scale catastrophe happened, and… no one’s knew about it. How was it possible?
