Officials monitoring the volcanic activity heard a loud explosion, with ash and rock rising from the sea.
A new island has formed following an explosive underwater volcano eruption in Japan.The freshly formed isle lies off the coast of Iwo Jima, south of Tokyo. When underwater volcanoes, also known as seamounts, erupt, the build of lava occasionally breaks the surface of the water. This causes an island to form.The eruption occurred on October 30, following an elevated period of unrest. Magma had been accumulating for quite some time, and finally breached the surface, creating a new island.
The new island is now part of the tropical Ogasawara Islands, consisting mainly of rock. The island could even become bigger, as volcanic activity continues.'On November 3 when I flew over, the eruption style had changed, with reddish brown volcanic ash and volcanic bombs had exploded repeatedly from inside the crater,' Nakada said.
