Northern Japan 'loses' a tiny island

Japan's missing island
A tiny island in northern Japan. Or so authorities fear, prompting plans for a survey to determine if the outcrop has been washed away, ever-so-slightly shrinking the country's territorial waters.

The island, known as Esambe Hanakita Kojima was only officially surveyed and registered by Japan's coastguard in 1987, who couldn't even say exactly how big it was.

Until recently, it rose 1.4-metre above sea level, and was visible from the very northern tip of Japan's northern Hokkaido island.

But now, it has disappeared.

"It is not impossible that tiny islands get weathered by the elements," a coastguard official told AFP.

The disappearance of the island "may affect Japan's territorial waters a tiny bit", she added, but only "if you conduct precision surveys".

With the Grand Solar Minimum intensification ready to ramp up 4x through 2019, the symbolism is stark and seems to point to rising food prices and further declining global crop yields.
