New islet far south of Tokyo

HACHIJO ISLAND, Japan - Photo taken from a Kyodo News airplane on Nov. 21, 2013, shows smoke rising from a new islet created by a recent undersea volcanic eruption near Nishinoshima Island in the Pacific, an uninhabited islet in the Ogasawara chain of islands, some 1,000 kilometers south of Tokyo. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the new land area cannot be called an island yet, because it would submerge under the sea if the volcanic activities come to a halt.
