Last week, a powerful volcanic eruption occurred, propelling volcanic rocks into the sea near Niijima Island, situated 150 km (93 miles) south of Tokyo, the Japanese capital.

Japan's coast guard documented the eruption and released the footage on Tuesday, revealing that the eruption reached an impressive height of approximately 200 meters (656 feet).

Niijima Island, formed a decade ago, was aptly named, translating to "new island."
