Eruption creates new island in Red Sea
The Red Sea appears to have a tiny new island, courtesy of an underwater eruption.
The island - essentially lava that cooled after breaking through the water's surface - began forming this month between Yemen and Eritrea among the Zubair archipelago, a group of small islands that come from a submarine shield volcano, according to NASA and the Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program.
NASA’s Earth-Observing-1 satellite captured an image (above) showing the new mass with a plume - perhaps volcanic ash and water vapor - rising from it on December 23, NASA’s Earth Observatory website says. The island appeared to be less than one-third of a mile in diameter, according to the Global Volcanism Program.
The image came four days after local news reports said fishermen saw an eruption in the sea, with lava rising up to 90 feet in the air, according to NASA.
The shield volcano from which the Zubair islands stem (the largest of which is 5 kilometers long) last erupted in the 19th century, according to the Global Volcanism Program.
Wordwide, new islands emerge from volcanic eruptions about once every few years, and not all of them survive beyond three years, because waves can break them apart, GVP volcanologist Rick Wunderman said Thursday. It's not clear whether the new Red Sea island will last, but the material that emerges from the Red Sea typically is more structurally sound than other areas, Wunderman said.
"That's usually the (material) that you see in the Red Sea - not so rich in gasses, more able to withstand waves and storms," he said.
People looking for an island getaway might want to keep searching, though. "It'd be hard to live there," Wunderman said. "(Fresh) water, safe harbor, all that kind of stuff would be really quite the challenge."
Wunderman said the central to southern Red Sea has seen plenty of volcanic activity recently, with as many as 10 eruptions in the past five years.

Uhh hate to break it to you V7.0 but you're dead wrong and he probably knows it too. If he's trolling you, ignore him or do nothing.
1. Revolving IP addresses do mean something. A non-static IP address means court orders are needed and ISP cooperation as well to identify someone.
2. You can't honestly believe anyone believes you when you say that ominous "WE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE" nonsense. Unless you have a court order and unless a judge agreed with you and if the ISP cooperated, all occurring without the troll knowing, you have no information about them and nobody believes you do.
3. There is no prosecution for "internet hate crime" or any of that babble you spew. Anyone can be as racist as they want on the internet, it's covered under freedom of speech. Internet related cases are difficult enough as it is, find me one prosecutor that will prosecute racism on the internet and I'll find you a lie. It's hard enough as it is to prosecute internet bullying, if you think ANY prosecutor is going to prosecute for internet hate crimes, (that don't even exist, are not even illegal), you're either incredibly insane or incredibly stupid.
Our changing planet.
The earth farts and everyone wants a piece of the pie!
No god is at work here, going about his creation, fixing things...hahahahahahahah next North Korea. He will produce a volcano in the Square where they all gather...hmmmm now that's an idea....nawwwwwww but you never know.....just sayinnnnn.
You shouldn't eat paint chips, idiot...
@INCORRECT I know you and your kind you act like you know all the laws,but.just let me give you a word of warming.If that is you suspect it is take heed that n saidi works for cnn and just for you assuming names you will be barred from cnn.Now hate crimes at the very least you will end up in court.THE CHOICE IS YOURS MR KNOW IT ALL
LOL!
looks like it does not take million of years to have an islands.
How long did it really take to make this island? It either took less than one second, 4.5 billion years, or 13 billion years, depending on your definition of "make an island."
It can take less than one second to go from an underwater hill to an island, but you kind of have to start with a planet... and a universe first.
Umm... fart fart to you to?
Unfortunately for the rest of us, even you are allowed to vote in next year's elections
I'd like to know what percent of Americans can read an article concerning geological changes in the earth's crust and NOT resort to fart jokes. Scientific literacy is important, but sadly missed, by so many Americans. No wonder our country is being surpassed by other nations who value science, math and education.
Sorry, Mr. Fart 🙁
Now why cant we like science AND fart jokes?
"I'd like to know what percent of Americans can read an article concerning geological changes in the earth's crust and NOT resort to fart jokes."
The percentage that is female. Only males would make reference to farts like this 🙂
Nice try, but there is technology that can and will track you. Your sources sound like they are ten years out of date. Further, your information is incorrect about the prosecution of said internet hate crimes. You may not have heard of them because they are generally not known to the general public, it is really too bad that you are spreading misinformation. You are either incredibly näive or incredibly stupid yourself if you truly think you cannot be tracked via your internet activity. I suggest you stop relying on out of date information and start thinking Big Brother; they ARE watching. Sometimes the conspiracy theories are NOT theories.
global warming, sea level rise, ice caps melt, gee i wonder why, maybe it is mother nature doing her thing
Would that lead to submerging islands? Global warming is unlikely to affect something that's already few thousand degrees. The Galapagos islands are being formed and eroded all the time.
Caihlyn, maybe we should call it " passed gas "
