Researchers from the University of Tokyo have reported that an explosive underwater volcano that erupted at the end of October created a new mass of land off the coast of Japan. The new island emerged from the sea off the coast of the Japanese island of Iwo Jima in the Pacific Ocean, about 1,200 kilometers south of Tokyo.
