NASA reveals the fate of the island "that has emerged from nowhere"

To expand– Scientists from the US space agency "NASA" have revealed the fate of the mysterious island that suddenly appeared four years ago in the South Pacific, after information confirmed that she would disappear again.

NASA scientists in the mysterious island, formed between December 2014 and January 2015 due to a volcanic eruption between the largest islands in the state of Tonga, according to Fox News.

A volcano erupted between Honga Tonga and Honga Hibai Islands, forming the third volcanic island to appear 150 years ago and is not expected to disappear due to the waters of the Pacific Ocean, scientists said.

Many islands are formed by marine volcanoes, but they disappear because of water, erosion or the collapse of the oceans.

Last October, a team of NASA scientists visited the island to determine whether it would remain permanently or not, record its observations and sample them.

Among the observations recorded by scientists, we find the presence of mud loam, which allows the growth of plants, they think come from the waves on the island, and whose source is the crater.

They also noticed a slight vegetation cover, birds such as the white owl and a type of gull.

NASA scientist Dan Slipak thinks that the island will remain and will not go away as easily as in some previously observed cases.

The island is of particular importance to NASA, as it may recall the ancient planet Mars, giving the space agency ideas on how volcanic landscapes interact with water on the old red planet, according to Sky News.

In 2017, NASA said it expects the island to remain between 6 and 30 years before disappearing again.
