History
The earliest recorded eruption of Fukutoku-Okanoba in 1904 formed an ephemeral island named Shin-Iwo-jima (New Sulfur Island). Other ephemeral islands have also formed, the most recent of which formed in 1986.[2] The most recent eruption of Fukutoku-Okanoba was in 2010, when the Japanese coast guard spotted steam rising one kilometer above the ocean and water discoloration of the surrounding area.[1]

gollark: Except probably not since it's evil and will never work properly.
gollark: It doesn't have a package manager but you have to use libraries somehow.
gollark: Yes. It's better than C(++) dependency management, which is pure evil.
