A team of oceanographers is on a mission to track down and monitor an underwater volcano that has erupted about 300 kilometres off the coast of northern California.The research vessel New Horizon sailed this month from its base at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, to arrive at the suspected site of the volcano last week.
