How Cool Is This?

Sailors in the South Pacific nation of Tonga have discovered a new island. A really new island -- three months ago it wasn't there. The picture was taken from this article which is worth reading for the additional picture of the miles-wide pumice raft. The blog of the people who chartered the yacht can be read here; it has lots of photographs of the emerging island and other natural phenomena around the area.
