    A NASA satellite has spotted a newly formed island off the coast of Japan that experienced a fiery birth at the end of October.

    The joint NASA/U.S. Geological Survey satellite Landsat-9 saw the island rise from the sea off the coast of Iwo Jima island, part of the Volcano Islands archipelago in south Japan, on Nov. 3.

    The island was born 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) south of Tokyo between 12:20 and 12:35 local time on Oct. 30 when blisteringly hot magma fell into the ocean and exploded, creating chunks of rock several feet long more than 160 feet (50 meters) into the air, according to the University of Tokyo.

    In this comparison, the image on the left, acquired on 18 October 2023 by Landsat-9, shows the area around Iwo Jima as it looked like before the eruption started.

    In the image on the right from 3 November, the new tiny island can be seen about one km off the southern coast of Iwo Jima.

    This amazing new landmass was formed after an undersea volcanic eruption, and it's still growing by the time of this recording.

    The island is about 330 feet wide and 70 feet tall, and it's located about 1,200 kilometres south of Tokyo. It's made up of volcanic ash and rocks

    Volcanic islands are very rare, and they're often formed after undersea eruptions.

    The new island in Japan is a great example of this.

    It's made up of volcanic ash and rocks.

    It's not yet clear how long the island will last.

    Volcanic islands can be eroded away by the waves, or they can collapse if the volcano becomes inactive.
