See 19 photos of a discovery made by people on the yacht Maiken, August 2006, while in South Pacific waters. First, they came upon what looked like a beach, in the middle of the ocean ... sand ... which turned out to be floating volcanic matter. As they were marveling over this, they turned and saw the formation of a new island. I wonder if they could name it and lay claim to it.
