A new island has been formed in the South Pacific Ocean, near Tonga, after the eruption of an underwater volcano.
Yet to be named, the land mass was visited by a resident of Tonga’s main island who shot striking images of the world’s youngest island, replete with a black beach and a sulphur-smelling lagoonYet to be named, the land mass was visited by a resident of Tonga’s main island who shot striking images of the world’s youngest island, replete with a black beach and a sulphur-smelling lagoon.

The island is 1,640 feet long and made up of rock sediment from magma, the BBC reports. It’s likely to be dangerous for visitors, and remains highly unstable. One visitor noted that the surface was still hot to the touch, and another said we can’t be sure if the volcano is done erupting.
The new island- which is 500 meters- is only 28 miles away from Tonga’s capital, Nuku’alofa.
