Vanishing 'Phantom Island' Spotted by NASA Satellites
NASA has released images of a vanishing "ghost island" in the Caspian Sea captured by its satellites. The Kumani Bank mud volcano, also known as Chigil-Deniz, a feature located roughly 15 miles off the eastern coast of Azerbaijan, erupted in early 2023, resulting in the phenomenon.

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.
