Volcanic activity in the Red Sea is causing the formation of a new island in the Zubair archipelago as lava is cooled by the surrounding seawater and solidifies. The underwater volcano responsible is located on the Red Sea Rift, where the African and Arabian tectonic plates are slowly pulling apart.

Interesting...the Zubair name:  It is an Islamic name

   Zubair
   زبیر

      
Diminutive of Zubrah, small piece of iron, a brave and wise person

Strong, powerful, smart.

It's a proper name, a Sahabas' name and the youngest fighter in Al Islam.
