An underwater volcano dubbed Tamu Ma**if was found some 1,000 miles east of Japan, says William Sager, a professor at the University of Houston, who led a team of scientists in the discovery.The volcano is about the size of the state of New Mexico and is among the largest in the solar system, Sager says.
Tamu Ma**if covers an area of about 120,000 square miles. In comparison, the largest active volcano on Earth, Hawaii's Mauna Loa, is about 2,000 square miles, Sager says.
