Ghost island emerges and vanishes in Caspian Sea

A Ghost Island Has Emerged From the Sea Overnight
Eagle-eyed geologist Mark Tingay recently noticed the emergence of a ‘ghost island’ in November of 2024, caused by a submarine mud volcano called Kumani Bank. Satellites show that the island formed 15 miles off the coast of Azerbaijan in early 2023, but had diminished to only one-quarter of its maximum size by the end of 2024.

Kumani Bank's eruptions are known for being brief and variable. The 1861 eruption created a small island that quickly eroded away, while the 1950 event was much more significant, forming an island 700 meters wide and 6 meters high. These eruptions are not just geological curiosities; they also reveal the dynamic nature of our planet's crust.
