A NASA satellite has captured an underwater volcano erupting in the Pacific Ocean.
The eruption was spotted by a scanning telescope on the orbiting Landsat 8 satellite.
Scientists have studied the volcano, known as the Kavachi volcano, and have discovered there are fish which live in the sulphuric infused waters surrounding the volcano.
Researchers believe the fish, specifically sharks, have mutated to cope with the volcanic conditions, Metro reported.
Scientists conducted a study in 2015, where they said marine life was observed inside the active Kavachi crater.
"Populations of gelatinous animals, small fish, and sharks were observed inside the active crater, raising new questions about the ecology of active submarine volcanoes and the extreme environments in which large marine animals can exist," scientists wrote.
Metro UK reported the volcano's base stretches down 1.2 km and has been dubbed 'Sharkcano' because of the marine life that lives in it.
In a statement, NASA explained the Kavachi volcano has erupted numerous times before.
"The volcano erupts nearly continuously, and residents of nearby inhabited islands often report visible steam and ash."
