Three men, who believe they are the first to have set foot on the brand-new island in the Pacific Ocean, captured incredible images of the volcanic islet.
An island has been formed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Tonga after an underwater volcano erupted.
The still unnamed island is about one-mile long and located between the older Hunga Tonga and Hiunga Ha'apai.
It is located 28 miles northwest of Tonga's capital, Nuku'alofa, BBC News reported.
Gianpiero Orbassano, who is a 63-year-old tour operator and photographer in Tonga, took a friend and his son on a boat to check out the island on Saturday, according to the Telegraph.
