A new island emerges! 🏝️ An extraordinary natural event took place off the coast of Iōtō Island, Japan, at the end of October 2023. The eruption of an undersea volcano, releasing ash and lava formed a brand-new island just one kilometre south of Iōtō Island, this tiny island, called Niijima, which means ‘new island’ in Japanese, is now visible from space! This is a striking reminder of Earth’s raw power and ever-changing landscapes! 📹 @europeanspaceagency 📸 contains modified @copernicus_eu Se
