# video | After the eruption of the volcano in the Pacific Ocean formed an island

On Wednesday, November 20, in the territorial waters of Japan, about a thousand kilometers south of Tokyo, it was possible to observe how a small island appeared just before our eyes in the middle of the water.

A sudden volcanic eruption led to the creation of a 200-meter land area. Officials have already said that the emerged island may soon disappear without a trace due to erosion and it would be premature to talk about a new geographical feature on the map, no matter how the Japanese would hope.
