Default New island forms off Japanese coast
New Volcanic Island Consumes Nearby Island off Japan Coast [VIDEO] : News : Nature World News

An underwater volcano off the coast of Japan that erupted with enough force to create an new island last year continues to rupture. The new, and growing, volcanic island has now essentially "eaten" a nearby island, and the eruption is showing no signs of abating, according to NASA's Earth Observatory.
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.

Not really crazy at all, it's been going on for billions of years. The island of Hawaii is building itself every day, centuries from now it will look very different from now.
