Snopes says this is true, AMAZING SIGHT IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC The yacht 'Maiken' was traveling in the south Pacific when the crew came across a weird sight - It was sand in the water, and the sand was floating ON TOP of the waves... Look at these photos and try to imagine the feeling, the thrill of experiencing this phenomenon close-up. This is not a beach, it is volcanic stones floating on the water. The trail left by the yacht... through the sand And then this was spotted... ash and steam rising from the ocean... And, while they were watching... A plume of black ash... A brand new island formed... Awesome! Can you imagine the thrill of being the first & only people to see a new island being created ... where there was nothing before?

I was dubious and double-checked this at Snopes.  Amazing!
