The Earth continues to change its landscape right before our eyes. A volcanic eruption in Tonga has created a new island, but one scientist said it could soon vanish just as quickly as it formed.
The volcano, located about 40 miles (65 kilometers) from the capital, Nuku'alofa, has been erupting in the ocean for a month. Last week, the ash and steam it discharged into the air even disrupted travel to the Pacific archipelago for several days.
