Satellite images show island born in the Red Sea

We've known about an eruption which took place in the Zubair archipelago in the Red Sea for over a week now although we've not had enough information about it due to it's remote location and the lack of resources in the area. Today, I found a clear zoomed-in image from NASA which showed clear evidence that an island was born within the Zubair island group.

 

Check out these images which showed the area before and after the new volcanic island was born.
