A New Supervolcano Discovered in the Pacific Ocean?

So I was doing my usual science reading when I came across a headline shouting: “New Supervolcano Discovered Beneath the Pacific Ocean!” Naturally, I clicked. And like any geologist with half a brain, I dug deeper — only to find out it’s total clickbait. Yes, something big was discovered — a massive underwater volcanic structure called the Melanesian Border Plateau — but no, it’s not a supervolcano in the catastrophic Yellowstone sense. It’s a slow-built basaltic province formed through effusive eruptions over millions of years. No ash clouds. No VEI-8 eruption. No doomsday scenario. Just media hype wrapped around misunderstood geology.
