On The Ball
p. 25 · Read in the full issue
[ Late last year, following a series of volcanic eruptions on Raoul Island in the Kermadecs, we peeked into our crystal ball |uand predicted that the western lisland of Tonga might be “the scene of spectacular volcanic I, activity soon" (RIM, Dec., p. 23).
One of the Tongan islands 1 which might suffer “a chain re daction" from the Raoul Island \eruption, we said, was Falcon, “which is at present submerged and is sometimes called Jack-in \the-Box because of its appear ances and disappearances”.
Well, in late June, Falcon was ■reported to be rising again, and to be only one fathom below the surface its highest elevation since it last disappeared in 1959.
