Kavachi
Active submarine volcano in the Pacific Ocean
Kavachi is one of the most active submarine volcanoes in the south-west Pacific Ocean. Located south of Vangunu Island in the Solomon Islands, it is named after a sea god of the New Georgia Group islanders and is also referred to locally as Rejo te Kavachi. The volcano has become emergent and then been eroded back into the sea at least eight times since its first recorded eruption in 1939.
