So cool!!! What happens with a underwater volcano?

Hi Tomas,
Some underwater volcanoes can be ridiculously loud. The Krakatoa eruption in 1883 was so loud it was heard in Perth, over 3000 kilometres away. The shockwave from the explosion travelled around the world several times, and could still be detected days after the explosion.Other eruptions are quite quiet. there are plenty of cool videos on youtube of quiet volcanoes in Hawaii, for example.
I found a web page with some underwater recordings of interesting sounds, including volcanic tremors and whale song.:

Hope this helps!
