Volcano erupts been for a month in the ocean about 65 kilometers (40 miles) north-west of the capital, Nuku'alofa. Last week, violated international air travel to the Pacific Islands for a few days.
New Zealand volcanologist Nico Fournier said he traveled on the ship for about a mile from the new island on Saturday to take a closer look.
He said that it was mainly because of loose ash and its dimensions of about 1.8 km (1.1 mi) to 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles), and it rises to 100 meters (109 yards) above sea level .

You Seee. Just as I predicted. Any rise in the sea level having inundated one island will in return give rise to more islands around coastal waters. Just Mother Nature rearranging her house.

There is no such thing as natural global warming - the highly paid nothing to gain scientists keep telling us its our fault.
How can you doubt the people who located the earthquake in Methven, sorry Arthurs Pass, sorry somewhere in NZ

Salmon think you have a point.. our planet's oceans are nowhere near being completely mapped ... first Outer Space... and this followed by the space race... think the learned ones would have understood more about Space if they'd concentrated on the incredible secrets our oceans revealed fairly recently, with so much more to come...down to magnetic fields powerful beyond imagination.
