Satellite measures Pakistan 'quake island'
Don't anyone go building property on this...it probably won't be around for very long
Quote:
The "quake island" that rose from the sea off Pakistan this week is pictured clearly in a new satellite image.
It was acquired by the French Pleiades high-resolution Earth-observing system, and has enabled scientists to map the muddy mound's precise dimensions.
It is almost circular - 175.5m on the short axis and 160.0m on the long axis, giving a total area of 22,726 sq m.
