December, 2013
A
submarine volcano grew to be an island and still intensely active in
1,000km south of Tokyo, according to the Maritime Safety Agency.
They
found this volcanic island erupting on 11/20/2013. The diameter was
200m.
2
days later, they found 2 craters erupting once in 2~3 minutes.
On
12/1/2013, the island grew to be 2.5 times much as the size of
11/21/2013. (Approx. 0.04 km2) The eruption of smoke reached
2,000 m height.
The
Maritime Safety Agency states still it’s actively erupting, doesn’t
seem to stop soon.
The
new island is in 500m S-S-E of Nishinoshima island, which is another
volcanic island. This island was also made of the submarine volcano
eruption in 1973. This volcano had not erupted since the dawn of
history until then.
