From the BBC:
Barely half an hour after they were jolted by a major earthquake on Tuesday, people of the Pakistani coastal town of Gwadar had another shock when they saw a new island emerge in the sea, just over a kilometre from the shore.
A local journalist, Bahram Baloch, received the news via a text message from a friend.... Mr Baloch and some friends landed on the island on Wednesday morning to check it out and to take pictures...
"There were dead fish on the surface. And on one side we could hear the hissing sound of the escaping gas," Mr Baloch said...
So what did our intrepid explorers do next?
Although they couldn't smell gas, they did put a match to the fissures from where it was oozing, and set it on fire.
"We put the fire out in the end, but it was quite a hassle. Not even the water could kill it, unless one poured buckets over it."

That is one of the funniest things I have read recently
Well if there is free flowing gas pouring out of it....won't be too long then before the US of A invade, to protect us all from the locals setting fire to it and putting us all at risk !
L, hope it cheered you up. It did me.
AM, probably.
Ah, but who does the new land belong to?
