So I’m a geek… deal with it!
What you’re looking at is a video from September and fresh images taken a day or so ago of the after-effects of a 7.7 earthquake in Pakistan – it raised a new island! Isn’t nature cool?
If you want to read the full story there is a link below the pics.
An image from the Pleiades satellite shows a small island of mud and rock created by the huge earthquake that hit southwest Pakistan. The island is about 60 to 70 feet (18 to 21 meters) high and more than 500 feet (150 meters) in diameter. It sits about 650 feet from the coast.
An aerial photo from Pakistan’s National Institute of Oceanography suggests the gray-colored mound is about 60 to 70 feet (15 to 20 meters) tall. The surface is covered in sea creatures such as dead fish and is a mixture of mud, sand and rock. It is solid enough for people to walk on. Boats can be seen surrounding the island.
