New island rises in southern Japan after volcanic eruption

New island rises in southern Japan after volcanic eruption


A volcanic eruption has raised an island in the seas to the far south of Tokyo, Japan.
Advisories from the coast guard and the Japan Meteorological Agency said the islet is about 200 meters (660 feet) in diameter. It is just off the coast of Nishinoshima, a small, uninhabited island in the Ogasawara chain, which is also known as the Bonin Islands.
