Scientist studies undersea fairy Palace Volcano la . Calif. Al1 an under water Volcano resembling a shimmering fairy Palace bears astonishing similarity 10 a volcanic Lake in Africa where a Gas explosion last year killed More than i.70u villagers a scientist says. The Volcano Loithi about 30 Miles from Hawaii is carpeted in Fluffy Crimson Bacle Ria. It is bathed in super carbonated water bubbling like Champagne said Harmon Craig a geochemistry professor at the Scripps institution of oceanography. It s surprising thai we should dive there so soon after the Lake Nios incident and find essentially the same water Craig said Friday. A Hunt of Carbon dioxide from i in Bottom of Lake Nios in Cameroon killed 1,746 villagers on aug. 21. We think Loithi is a Good Model of Nios except that it s completely underway Craig led a team that spent nine Days this month studying the Volcano from a Small submarine More than 3,000 feet below the surface. He presented his find Ings Al a news conference. We re trying to find out what s happen ing in these volcanic lakes so we can help people avoid being killed Craig said. Color videos of the exploration showed fresh volcanic Rock covered with to ukr Crimson bacteria. Craig said that As far As he knew the growth has never before been seen by scientists. Water containing More than 4,000 limes the amount of Carbon dioxide in Normal seawater bubbled like Cham pagne from vents in the Bright red lava resulting in a shimmering fairy Palace effect. Craig said. The team also captured a rare deep water task with a movable lure Between the Rye to attract prey. The fish has Frog like tags and Sharp fangs said Richard Rosenblatt a leading open at Skripps on fish. It s about the ugliest fish i be Ever seen Craig said. The fish related to the monkfish.
