"Japan's Newest Island Rises from Underwater Volcano Eruption"
A new island has emerged off the coast of Japan's Ogasawara Islands due to an ongoing underwater volcanic eruption. The volcanic activity began on October 21st and has resulted in the formation of a young land mass made of pumice rock. The island is located near Iwo Jima and currently stretches about two kilometers in diameter. While the eruption is ongoing, it seems to be calming down. However, the long-term existence of the island remains uncertain, as erosion may cause it to diminish over time.
