Volcano Creates New Island for Japan

A new island has formed in Japan's Bonin Islands.

The island erupted out of the Pacific Ocean, with an ash plume of two thousand feet.

Officials say that the volcano is about a thousand feet long by six hundred and fifty feet.

It is located in the same chain as Iwo Jima, about six hundred and fifty miles south of Tokyo.

If it can stay above the waves, Japan plans to have a contest to give the island a name.
