Here's something interesting that I've never heard of before
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19207810It seems there is a 10,000 square mile crop of rock floating in the Pacific Ocean. Yep, some rocks float:
"A vast "raft" of volcanic rocks covering 10,000 sq miles (26,000 sq km) of ocean has been spotted by a New Zealand military aircraft.
A naval ship was forced to change course in order to avoid the cluster of buoyant rocks, located 1,000 miles off the New Zealand coast.
The unusual phenomenon was probably the result of pumice being released from an underwater volcano, experts said."
