The NZ Navy just found a huge mass of pumice (26,000 square kilometres) floating around north of NZ. Apparently it's from the eruption of an undersea volcano.
That's all there is to the story pretty much, but it got my attention.

Just think of the size of foot the pummice was used to scrub jawdrop
