RV Roger Revelle Docks at Suva Port, Fiji

Yesterday, students were able to tour the US research vessel Roger Revelle as it docked at the Suva port, the Fiji Times reports.

The vessel researches underwater volcanoes between Fiji, Tonga and Samoa, and it will probably study the ecosystems of these volcanoes.

Roger Revelle experienced one of the deepest underwater eruptions of a volcano during its study in the Pacific seas.
