The "ghost" island appears near Azerbaijan, NASA publishes the images

The idea of ​​a "ghost" island may seem like a concept from an episode of "Scooby Doo," but it has become a reality in the Caspian Sea.

NASA satellites have discovered a mysterious island that has since completely disappeared. The island is believed to have emerged from a volcanic eruption off the coast of Azerbaijan in early 2023, but by the end of 2024, it had disappeared, A2 CNN writes.

The volcano is about 25 kilometers off the east coast of Azerbaijan. NASA's Landsat satellites captured images of the island on November 18, 2022, February 14, 2023, and December 25, 2024. The island was about 400 meters wide, but it quickly disappeared.

Volcanic islands are very common in Azerbaijan, located in an area where the tectonic plates of Arabia and Eurasia are colliding. (A2 Televizion)
