This Island On Earth of the Day: An underwater volcano that recently erupted for the first time in over a century has led to the formation of a brand new island in the Red Sea’s Zubair archipelago.
The volcano was first sighted spewing lava on December 19th by Yemeni fishermen. The lava was cooled by the seawater, resulting in the new island.
It is unclear if the island is here to stay, but the 500-meter-wide land mass continues to expand suggesting it’s only a matter of time before the first Starbucks opens.
