Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 (edited) I just found out about this! A new island has formed in the Pacific Ocean.

Pat Riot Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Apologies Rye, just venting. It’s really difficult to read news articles that are interspersed with ads and links to unrelated articles. Here’s one that is less busy. https://dailygalaxy.com/2025/02/a-fiery-new-island-is-rising-from-the-ocean-and-scientists-are-watching/ 1 2 Quote
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 So, Surtsey lost it's spot as "yougest island." But I remember when it happened! Quote

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I imagine the island is a hazard to navigation. Does some put bouys around it? Quote

With an island that small a Lance Corporal in a one man rubber life raft armed with a P-38 can opener should be sufficient. Make the landing, raise the flag, and wait for Japan to try and claim it. Send the U. S. S. Ronald Reagan along to shoo the Chinese away. Edited February 26 by Forty Rod SASS 3935 2 1 Quote
