Tied Island, Kilauea Eruption 2018
The tiny new island that formed just offshore of the Kapoho ocean entry, seen in image SS21475464 from July 13, is more like a peninsula as of August 2, attached to the coast by a black sand tombolo, or sandy isthmus, creating a feature known as a "tied island." Whether or not it will withstand wave erosion over time remains to be seen.
