The former new island off Nishino-Shima seen on 20 Jan 2014(Japan Coast guard)

Map showing the evolution of the new island between 21 Nov (shortly after its birth), 26 Dec (touching the main island) and 20 Jan 2014

The 2 active vents of Niishima (the left one showing spattering of liquid lava) and an active flow

No large changes of the island appear visible when compared to the images a week ago. ... Read all
