Belgium-sized rocky mass adrift off New Zealand (VIDEO, PHOTOS)
• http://www.rt.comTim Oscar, a lieutenant with the New Zealand navy who was one of the first to set eyes on the volcanic phenomenon said it was the “weirdest thing” he had seen in 18 years at sea.
HMNZS Canterbury was the first to discover the pebbly mass 85 nautical miles south-west of Raoul Island on Thursday night. The ship’s lookout reported a strange shadow on the ocean’s surface and called for the ship’s spotlight to be trained in the area.
It illuminated a brilliant white sheet that stretched as far as the eye could see.
