Via Russia Today:
Amidst the destruction caused by the devastating earthquake in
Pakistan that killed more than 500 people, a new island emerged from the
depth of the sea. NASA has released images of the newly formed islet.
NASA has released before and after photos of a new terrestrial body
that was born on September 24 during a quake that struck Pakistan.
Called Zalzala Jazeera, or a an earthquake island, the terrestrial
formation can now be found 380 kilometers from the earthquake’s
epicenter in Paddi Zirr Bay near Swadar, Pakistan in the Arabian Sea.
The first image of the island was taken by NASA’s Earth
Observing-1 satellite on September 26, while the second snapshot shows
the same bay on April 17 with water and no landmass around the
coordinates that the new island now inhabits.
