New Island Off Cape Hatteras, N.C.
From the June 27, 2016, Yahoo! News.
This new island is called Shelly Island after all the shells that can be fond on it. It is formed by the changing tides of the Atlantic Ocean right off the Cape Hatteras Point.
Two major Atlantic water currents converge in the area: the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current.
Shelly Island will either continue to grow or perhaps disappear. Right now it is about a mile long and several hundred yards across.
Authorits warn, though, that it can be dangerous to go to it.
