A massive mass of earth bobbed out from the bottom of the sea and transformed into a new island off the coast of Japan. The video of the creation of Japan newest islet has become viral on several social networking sites.

According to the Daily Mail UK, a massive volcanic eruption beneath the Pacific Ocean created the new island situated near another small, uninhabited island called Nishinoshima in the Ogasawara chain (Bonin Islands) - a group of 30 island located along the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Japan has experience the most powerful volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in the history of mankind, but these seismic activities rarely resulted to a formation of a new island. As a matter fact, Wednesday's volcanic eruption marked the first time in 30 years that that this kind of phenomena happened. Eruptions during the 1970s and 80 also created tiny islands before, but these landmasses eventually sank overtime.

"Although the area regularly experiences earthquakes and eruptions, they are rarely as powerful as the one that happened earlier this week. In fact, the forming of the new island is the first time the phenomenon has happened in almost 30 years," the Daily Mail stated.

The islet is consists of hot molten lava and boulders pushed upward by a volcanic eruption. Scientists believe the temperature in the island could go as high as 1,000 degree Celsius.

Dangerous Landmass

Japanese coast guards warned sailors to stay away from the island until it finally cools off. Volcanologist stressed the island might have the tendency to submerge beneath the ocean due to erosion.

'Smoke is still rising from the volcanic island, and we issued a navigation warning to say that this island has emerged with ash falling in the area,' said a spokesman for the maritime agency via Daily Mail.uk.

'If this becomes a solid island, our country's territorial waters will expand,' Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said.

Zalzala Koh Subsiding

Though this is the first time in three decades an island was formed out of strong volcanic eruptions, it is the second time this year an island was formed out of seismic activities.

The island of Zalzala Koh, which is located 1.5 kilometers off the Jhanda coastline in Gwadar, Pakistan, bobbed out of nowhere following a strong earthquake in the area. It is reportedly made up of hot mud and was spewing methane gas.

According to reports, the island is beginning to sink beneath the ocean and it may not last long because of erosion.
