In November 2013, a surge of Pacific Rim volcanic activity gave rise to a small island, dubbed Niijima, or "New Island" in Japanese, in the Ogasawara island chain about one day's boat ride from the Tokyo coast. <snip>
Watch the vid clip and see this thing spewing huge gobs of molten lava a couple of hundred feet in the air.

What a terrible name to give anything. What happens in a thousand years when there are hundreds of newer islands and this one is still called "New Island". Have some consideration for the long term.
