As a result of volcanic eruptions, last year a new island was born to the northeast of New Zealand. It does not seem to have anything to do with this news, since when volcanoes expel lava, dust and gases, many times new islands arise and many of them will disappear as soon as they were formed. However, there is a hope that will last the newly born island.
It began to bloom in June last year and at this time it is 270 meters long and 42 meters high. Because of its composition, geologists believe that it can be faced with attacks from the sea. As is known, the newly created islands usually disappear normally due to the erosion of the flow of the waves. But, as has been said, many experts have shown optimism about the duration of the new island of New Zealand. Time will tell what is the destination of this island.
