NASA satellites capture mysterious ‘ghost island’ in Caspian Sea before it vanishes
A rare 'ghost island' appeared and quickly disappeared in the Caspian Sea after the eruption of Kumani Bank mud volcano off Azerbaijan's coast. NASA satellites captured the event, showing the formation and erosion cycle from early 2023 to late 2024.
A Ghost Island Has Emerged From the Sea Overnight
A island formed by the Kumani Bank mud volcano in the Caspian Sea stretched nearly 400 meters across in early 2023. Within a year, it was one-quarter the size.
This Island in the Caspian Sea Is Almost Gone
The island formed in early 2023, when a mud volcano in the Caspian Sea’s Kumani Bank, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) off the coast of Azerbaijan, burst. The landmass is called Chigil-Deniz, but based on NASA satellites, it will soon be no more. After two years, erosion has condemned the island to Davy Jones’ Locker.
