The Living Planet Quotes

“At 10 a.m. on 28 August, the rock roof of the chamber, insufficiently supported by lava beneath, could bear the weight of the ocean and its floor no longer. It collapsed. Millions of tons of water fell on to the molten lava in the chamber and two-thirds of the island tumbled on top of it. The result was an explosion of such magnitude that it produced perhaps the loudest noise ever to echo round the world in recorded history.”
― David Attenborough, Living Planet: The Web of Life on Earth
