During aerial observations, the eruption of an underwater volcano near Io Island was confirmed. Experts believe that during the eruption, when magma hit the ocean waters, a so-called phreatomagmatic explosion occurred, in which huge stones were thrown out from under the water, RIA news reports

Not far from the site of the eruption, a new island with a diameter of about 100 meters was discovered. Its surface is covered with volcanic rocks, and the border water area around it has a grayish-beige hue.

In this regard, experts believe that, as the eruption continues, the size of the island may also increase.
