In August of 2007, the coastline near Sydney, Australia became a churning bubble bath. Foam swallowed an entire beach and half the nearby buildings, including the local lifeguards’ center, in a freak display of nature at Yamba in New South Wales. One minute a group of teenage surfers were waiting to catch a wave, the next they were swallowed up in a giant bubble bath. The foam was so light that they could puff it out of their hands and watch it float away. It stretched for 30 miles out into the Pacific in a phenomenon not seen at the beach for more than three decades. Scientists explain that the foam is created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. All are churned up together by powerful currents which cause the water to form bubbles. That sounds disgusting to me. The last thing I would do would be to go play in a foam of seaweed excretions and decomposed fish. See the full story on DailyMail.co.uk.
