Enormous deep-sea volcano filmed by OSU researchers!

From National Geographic:
The science team, led by Bill Chadwick of Oregon State University, reports the volcano has been growing considerably in the last three years.

Chadwick says the volcano has expanded 131 feet in height and nearly a thousand feed in width, about as tall as a 12-story building and as wide as a city block.
...
NW Rota-1 is about 1,700 feet below sea level, and the pressure of the ocean keeps the energy released from the volcano from becoming too explosive, allowing the remote vehicle, Jason, to get close.
