Undersea Volcano Eruption
Most people have probably heard about this already, but the pictures are too cool not to post. Earlier this week a deep-sea volcano near Tonga in the South Pacific began erupting and put on quite a show (video at link).

Well, it poses no threat to the island itself, but it's made things quite uncomfortable for the birds and bees that were hanging out there.
I also read somewhere that this has actually produced a new, smaller island next to the existing island.
THAT is cool.
