| Rising
and sinking like a great coral piston
~ YOYO Island
is rhythmically buoyed by a pulsing well of molten lava beneath the
seabed! |
 |
| When
the lava pressure beneath the island builds, |
|
it raises the vast coral pillar up from the sea, the volcano,
Mount
Kabumi,
roaring to life just past midnight, pushing the island up through
the morning twilight to its full height by mid-day. |
|
 |
| As
the lava's heat and compression begin to diminish, YoYo
Island
starts
to sink back into the ocean depths, mighty Mt.
Kabumi
this time releasing pressure in a firey fountain throughout the evening
twilight... |
| Sunk
to the rim of its turbulent volcano by midnight, and fully risen again
by noon, |
| is
YOYO Island as safe and predictable as 'Old Faithful' ~ |
