A new island has been spotted off the coast of Japan by a NASA satellite. The island was formed during a volcanic eruption near Iwo Jima and was witnessed by an aircraft owned by a Japanese newspaper. The eruption occurred on October 30, and the island was seen on November 3. The site of the new island has experienced multiple underwater eruptions in recent years and is considered one of the fastest-rising caldera volcanoes in the world.
