Island spring up in ocean near Pakistan earthquake epicentre
In the aftermath of the earthquake in Pakistan that has killed more than 300 people, an unusual after-effect hit the south of the nation.
From a beach near Gwadar port, crowds of bewildered residents gathered to witness the rare phenomenon of an island that the quake has thrust up out of the sea.
The island was formed by a "mud volcano" a pressure vacuum created by a mix of loose sediment and gas underneath sea rock that is jolted by the quake. — Reuters
