A small island in the Bay of Bengal, who for years cost the subject of a regional challenge between India and Bangladesh, gone away below the waves, say Indian scientists.
The abandoned soil southern of the river Hariabhanga was known to Indians as New Moore Island, while the Bangladeshis Talpatti called South Island.
New satellite images record that the whole island is below water, according to the School of Oceanographic Reports in Calcutta.
Scientists add that other nearby islands could also vanish as the rising sea level.
Swallowed by the ocean
The Noticiero correspondent in New Delhi, Mick Me describes that there was never a lasting settlement on the island now defunct, which-even in its heyday, was never more than 2 meters above sea level.
In the old times, however, the regional contravention led to the dispatch of Indian Naval Forces ships and the temporal deployment of a contingent of Border Security Forces of that nation.
"What these two countries could not achieve after years of talks has been solved by global warming," said Prof Sugata Hazra, School of Oceanographic Studies of Jadavpur University in Calcutta.
Whoever wants to travel to her now, he said, need to resolve what to do in a submarine.


Professor Hazra told that their studies indicate that water levels in this part of the Bay of Bengal have risen much quicker in the last decade than they had in the previous 15 years.


He predicts that within the next decade other islands in the Sundarbans delta area will continue to New Moore, or Talpatti South, beneath the waves.


"We will increasingly displaced persons in the Sunderbans as more surface is submerged islands," the scientist.
As Well in Mexico


A similar case happened with an island in the Gulf of Mexico that is described in cartographical documents of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.


Red Island is seen in different maps of the time, though not always in the same place, and in later hundreds there have been several sightings.


The island could change the limits of the territorial waters of Mexico in an area rich in oil.


However, never been able to make the exact position of the island, or affirm their existence and, if in fact existed, as was that disappeared.
