The September 10, 2022 eruption of the Home Reef seamount has resulted in a new island (Credit: USGS)

The Polynesian Kingdom of Tonga is home to a new island. The land mass results from the lava and ash spewed by the Home Reef seamount, an undersea volcano that came to life on September 10, 2022. While the volcano has been erupting steadily since, it poses no risk to the residents of the South Pacific archipelago.

    my smart mind says that this could be a risk to people who are nearby due to the ash clouds and might pollute the water.

      I would not go too fast. if more and more islands come up, it will either drain the supply, or the islands will be flooded. not to mention that this could be bad for the investment and could take our oxygen.

          this might not be a place for living because there is no soil for life.

                Not to be rude but I pretty sure we have enough land and also don't planes fly over water? Cars also travel on the land we already have, its also confusing because I don't think people would want to walk thousands or millions of miles just to get to one place.

              if it is permanent, I am guessing people will start exploring to see if it is safe. if it is, they will probably put wildlife on the island. I am a bit worried about this because it might decrease the water on our planet.

              I feel sorry for the fish because now they have less space

                I wonder if the island will get bigger because of the water
