michael Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Scientists sailed out to have a closer look at the eruptions of an undersea volcano off the coast of Tonga in the South Pacific Ocean today. Tonga's head geologist, Kelepi Mafi, said there was no apparent danger to residents of Nuku'alofa and others living on the main island of Tongatapu. Officials also said it may be related to a quake with a magnitude of 4.4 which struck last March 13 around 35 kilometers from the capital at a depth of nearly 150 kilometres. (I know this is an off-day posting, but really, thought the images were worth it - 12 photos total) HERE IS THE LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old school Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) I agree. Awesome images and footage. I guess this is the reference images and footage that Directors will be handing to you guys in Production for the coming year's round of death and destruction movies.

Netvudu Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Great reference...I felt tempted to say that pic number 9 was a sloppy composition and the DOF was a bit off....boy, CGI has ruined my perception of reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
