Tangaroan volcanic eruption, artwork C016 / 7704
Tangaroan volcanic eruption. Computer artwork of an underwater volcano producing tangaroan activity. This form of submarine eruption is neither explosive nor effusive, like typical volcanic activity. Instead, it slowly releases blobs of buoyant volcanic pumice foam that rise through the water column (centre) to the surface and float (upper centre) until the chunks get waterlogged and sink (right), or wash ashore

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Tangaroan volcanic eruption" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the depths of the ocean. Created by Claus Lunau, this computer-generated illustration showcases an extraordinary phenomenon rarely witnessed - tangaroan activity. Unlike typical volcanic eruptions that are either explosive or effusive, this underwater volcano releases blobs of buoyant volcanic pumice foam in a slow and steady manner. The image captures the moment when these unique formations rise through the water column towards the surface, creating a striking centerpiece. As we gaze at this surreal scene, we witness how these chunks of pumice foam float effortlessly in the upper center until they become waterlogged and eventually sink or wash ashore on distant shores to continue their fascinating journey. The intricate details depicted in this artwork allow us to explore not only the external features but also gain insight into its internal structure. We can observe the cone-shaped volcano with its central vent erupting amidst swirling currents and foaming waters. This masterpiece serves as a reminder of Earth's geological wonders and highlights our ongoing fascination with volcanoes. It invites us to contemplate nature's power and resilience while igniting our curiosity about what lies beneath our planet's surface.
