Powerful underwater volcano forms new island off the coast of Japan
A new island has formed off the coast of Japan, but it's unknown at this point whether it will survive for very long.
China's gonna dig up a map from the 1300s with the island on it claiming it as the rightful territory of China since ancient times
And then dredge up an airbase around it. And then accuse Japan of “covert geological incendiary incursions” instead of, you know, admitting they built a thing on an active volcano.
There is already a Japanese airbase about a mile away from it. The airbase was the first to confirm the new island.
Japan’s Maritime Self-Defence Force’s air base on Iwoto Island (previously known as Iwo Jima Island, the site of a major Second World War battle) confirmed the emergence of the new island last week after personnel heard a loud explosion that sent sand and ash flying high into the air.
oh man. I did not think so many would be thinking the same thing on this one.
The hive mind is strong with this one.
All jokes aside, this is pretty cool. It's easy to think of ourselves living in a static world and forget that everything is always changing.
I know we’ll be long gone but I think it’s cool that the Pacific is shrinking while the Atlantic grows and Africa will most likely split apart.
i think about this every time someone tells me what 'mother earth' wants or needs..
There is definitely a giant radioactive lizard emerging at that location.
Will it last or be washed away tho
I've seen enough Godzilla movies to know what's coming next.
Run mother fuckers!
