THE WONDER OF PUMICE ROCK Not all rocks sink, some float. Pumice is a volcanic rock formed when hot lava full of gas cools quickly and hardens. The fast cooling traps many tiny air pockets inside, making the rock lighter than water. That is why it floats for months or even years before sinking. Pumice is more than a fun science fact, it has many uses too. It is used for skin care, water filtering, and in lightweight building materials. This floating rock shows the power and creativity of nature.

1. They float because they’re full of air The rocks are pumice, formed during massive volcanic eruptions. They’re packed with tiny air bubbles, making them light enough to float on water instead of sinking like normal rock. 2. They came from one of Earth’s biggest eruptions Lake Taupō sits inside a supervolcano. Around 1,800 years ago, the Taupō eruption ejected so much pumice that it covered land, rivers, and the lake itself. Some of what you see today is still from that event. 3. They can floa

Hey! Did you know that this rock floats? My favorite demonstration at Brooks Camp: toss a large pumice rock in the lake- and it floats! I was showing off this amazing phenomenon to my friends and inadvertently caught the attention of this curious bear. Maybe she thought it was a salmon jumping? Anyway, she came over to see what was going on, looked at the floating pumice and then continued past our plane to the river. Pumice is a type of volcanic rock produced when lava with a very high content
