“Dozens of Pakistani villagers have sailed across to a new island that rose from the sea following Tuesday’s earthquake. The land mass, 5km off the coast, is around the length of a football field and the width of a tennis court, according to geologists. Dead fish were reportedly found floating in the water nearby, and people have been warned to stay away – but many villagers made the voyage regardless and took home stones as souvenirs. Scientists who visited the island on Wednesday to collect samples said the rocks were emitting methane gas.
