Sharks discovered inside underwater volcano
I'm afraid of sharks and volcanoes. Sharkcano?!
Exclusive video: A real life "sharkcano"? Ocean engineer Brennan Phillips led a team to the remote Solomon Islands in search of hydrothermal activity. They found plenty of activity — including sharks in a submarine volcano. The main peak of the volcano, called Kavachi, was not erupting during their expedition. So they were able to drop instruments, including a deep-sea camera, into the crater. The footage revealed hammerheads and silky sharks living inside, seemingly unaffected by the hostile temperatures and acidity.
