There is no island to mark the spot - just open water on a busy shipping route, choppy enough in normal conditions that sailors named the strait Kick 'em Jenny long before anyone knew a volcano was responsible. The name originally belonged to a small island (now called Diamond Rock) or possibly to the rough passage itself, a reference to waters that could pitch a vessel like a bucking mule. It was only in July 1939, when the ocean erupted in a column of steam and debris 275 meters high, that anyone realized the roughness had a cause buried 1,300 meters below on the Caribbean seafloor.

On July 23 and 24, the volcano breached the surface, hurling a cloud of steam and volcanic debris into the sky and generating a series of tsunamis roughly two meters high by the time they reached the coastlines of northern Grenada ...

Volcanic gases venting from the seafloor reduce the density of the water above the volcano. A ship floating over a sudden gas release could, in theory, lose buoyancy and sink without warning ...

These islands are not ancient and stable. They are the tips of a volcanic arc still being built by the collision of tectonic plates, and the process is not finished. Grenada itself was b...
