World’s Largest Volcano Discovered

What is the largest volcano on Earth? You may be surprised at the answer.

The volcano Mauna Loa, in Hawaii, used to be thought of as the largest volcano in the world.

Tamu Massif is a massive volcano about the size of the British Isles–or more than three times the size of New Brunswick.

Laros estimates he has made more than 10,000 dives in his career.

On Jan. 11, he led a group of videographers and divers on a “Manta Ray Night Dive.”

However, the tour would be unlike any other trip he had ever been on before.
