In late November, a few days before Thanksgiving, an eruption began in the Pacific Ocean about 600 miles south of Tokyo in the Ogasawara Islands. Over the last few weeks, an island has formed at the volcanic site. People are calling the new land mass Niijima.

The island has an area of about 14 acres and it continues to grow. NASA’s Earth Observatory released new images of it today.
