Talk:Pumice raft

Question
Thanks for the definition. How does stone float exactly? That's a neat trick. Do you have any pictures?

Here's a picture from 1973:

Pumice is a sponge-like stone, and is often less dense than water.

words
"A large pumice raft appeared near New Zealand in August of 2012. It was reported to be 300 miles (483 km) long, 30 miles (48 km) wide, and riding two feet (sixty centimetres) above the surface.[4] On 10 August 2012 a raft with an estimated area of 10,000 sq miles was observed near Raoul Island, north-east of New Zealand by the Royal New Zealand Navy.[5][6][7]"

These two sentences are about, and saying, the same thing, and confusingly so. 149.31.129.141 (talk) 16:26, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Surface photo
It would be extremely interesting to see in the article what these look like on the surface, from a boat or island. -- Beland (talk) 23:08, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
