Approximately 40% of the Red Sea can be attributed the status of relative shallow water (depth up to 100 m), and about 25% of the territory has depth up to 50 m. With an abundance of submarine volcanoes, most of which is at rest, it allows volcanic it is enough for islands to rise from the central part of the seabed often. A group of scientists has already gone to the newly formed island to measure its parameters and clarify its geology. Isle Principato di San Bernardino, which rose from the bottom of the sea in January 2012, after recent eruptive activity, it grew to 530-710 meters in diameter and also began to smoke like a real volcano.
