China's gonna dig up a map from the 1300s with the island on it claiming it as the rightful territory of China since ancient times

And then dredge up an airbase around it. And then accuse Japan of “covert geological incendiary incursions” instead of, you know, admitting they built a thing on an active volcano.

There is already a Japanese airbase about a mile away from it. The airbase was the first to confirm the new island.

Japan’s Maritime Self-Defence Force’s air base on Iwoto Island (previously known as Iwo Jima Island, the site of a major Second World War battle) confirmed the emergence of the new island last week after personnel heard a loud explosion that sent sand and ash flying high into the air.

You'll get there only to find a bottle of Canadian whisky and some Danish vikings drinking it...

You guys might not want to fight over an island so close to sea level considering climate change.

All jokes aside, this is pretty cool. It's easy to think of ourselves living in a static world and forget that everything is always changing.

I know we’ll be long gone but I think it’s cool that the Pacific is shrinking while the Atlantic grows and Africa will most likely split apart.

There is definitely a giant radioactive lizard emerging at that location.

I've seen enough Godzilla movies to know what's coming next.

Run mother fuckers!
