Pak: Another two islands emerge off coast
2013-09-28
[Dawn] Following the emergence of an island on Tuesday off the coast of Gwadar, two others have emerged along the Balochistan

coast, according to sources.

"The two new islands are located a few miles from Bidok and Bal, two villages along the coast of Ormara and Pasni. The information about the islands has been provided by local fishermen and tribal elders," said Mohammad Moazzam Khan, a technical adviser to the World Wide Fund for Nature.

"The two new islands also seem to have been formed due to the earthquake that hit the province on Tuesday. Detailed information will be available tomorrow when our technical staff will visit the sites," Mr Khan added.

Meanwhile,

a team of the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) visited on Wednesday the island which emerged off the Gwadar coast and found methane gas being emitted from various spots.

"The team has collected samples of rocks, water and sediment which will be analysed at the institute's laboratory in Bloody Karachi

. Another team will thoroughly examine the site in a few days," said Dr Asif Inam of the NIO.

He put the island's size at 50 metres long, 20m wide and 10m above the sea level.

The island, he said, was largely composed of mud and seemed to have emerged in a similar fashion as did Malan island in 2011. The new island was emitting pure methane that was used in households, he added.

#5  India should claim them as Indian sovereign territory. It's obvious Pakistain can't demonstrate control over their existing "sovereign territory"

#3  "The island which emerged off the Gwadar coast found methane gas being emitted from various spots."

And I say to the team of scientists from the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO),
light a smoke if you have them, it will clear the methane problem up in no time.

#1  This all sounds vaguely apocalyptic. With any luck, it ends with a giant rubber dinosaur stomping down Karachi.
