A volcanic eruption has created a new island in the sea South of Tokoyo, Japan.
The island hasn’t been named yet (the Japanese Government is waiting to see if it sticks around or sinks back into the sea), but it’s 200m wide and is just off the coast of Nishinoshima, a small, uninhabited island in the Ogasawara chain, which is also known as the Bonin Islands.
The Japanese Coast Guard managed to grab some incredible footage of the island:
Volcanoes are cool, and we have heaps of them in and around NZ, so it pays to know a bit about them…
