Lots of pictures of a new volcanic island


Japan has a new volcanic island, named Nishinoshima.  It had been a little island next to an older island, but now the islands have joined basalts and merged.  

The Japanese Coast Guard (I think) has a page with lots of pictures of the growing island.  It's in Japanese, so if you don't know how to read that -- join the club -- and just enjoy the pictures.

Nishinoshima

Here's a picture of how the two islands got together.
