Discover sharks that live in volcanic hearts on the ocean floor

During the discovery of Kavachi, the active volcano in the sea of ​​the Solomon Islands, the southern Pacific, scientists discovered sharks.

Sharks live for the first time in the volcano

"Of course we are very alert," National Geographic research team member Brennan Phillips said. "Nobody knows the Kavachi eruption cycle."

" Divers are about to reach the outer edge of the volcano, being forced to step back because of hot water and minor burns because of acidic water," Phillips said. In the end, they had to put the dive-camera, anti-water camera on the sea floor. Unexpectedly, for the first time scientists discovered hammer sharks and white-eyed sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis) swam in the volcanic heart, NG reported on July 9.

These large animals must adapt to hotter, more acidic waters."This finding raises the question of what kind of harsh environments they are adapting to. What are they going through? Are there only certain animals that can live in this environment? And clearly. obviously people can't get close to where these sharks live, " Phillips said.

He said, it will be interesting to observe Kavachi volcano and the life of animals here, such as sharks. Whether they know and run away when volcanic eruptions, or do not know and stuck, lost their lives in the water and hot lava.

" All questions are raised, opening up endless directions that people can study ," Phillips concluded.
