Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I just found out about this! A new island has formed in the Pacific Ocean. It was formed by a volcano in 2023 https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/volcanos/new-island-that-emerged-from-the-ocean-off-japan-is-now-visible-from-space
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/
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!
watab kid Posted February 25 Posted February 25 thats pretty cool , but i have to say it has to be volatile so it might be a while before its inhabital i should think ,
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?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 On 2/24/2025 at 7:47 AM, Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 said: Tell the Prez that we need it. Send in the Marines. 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.
