Japanese volcano creates new island

Japan's land area has already increased, thanks to a new island suddenly created by an underwater volcano.

The volcano, which is located about a kilometer off the southern coast of Iwo Jima, which Japan calls Iwoto, erupted on October 21 and within 10 days ash and volcanic rock piled up on the seabed creating the island.

It has a diameter of 100 meters and is 20 meters above sea level.

According to Yuji Usui, an analyst at the Japan Meteorological Agency's volcano division, experts are still analyzing the development, including details of the deposits. However, due to the material it is made of, the new island may not last long. (A2 Televizion)
