Nine months after a new island broke through the surface of the western Pacific Ocean, the volcanic eruption at Nishino-shima continues. The tiny new volcanic island (“Niijima” in Japanese) merged into Nishino-shima last winter and continued to grow. Steady flows of lava are enlarging the merged island, which is now 1.39 square kilometers (0.54 square miles).

If.
It's great that such commonly accepted ideas are being challenged and that they aren't getting shouted down for it. But from what I know about this, I wouldn't count on it amounting to much.
