Discussion: A recent paper (Ex on and Johnson, 1986) in this journal concluded that activity attributed in the past to the Cook submarine volcano, in the forearc region of the New Georgia Group of the Solomon Islands, was probably largely hydrothermal blowouts from a sea floor vent (or vents) 1300 m below sea level, rather than volcanic activity.
