The disappearnce of New Moore Island

For nearly 30 years, India and Bangladesh have argued over control of a tiny rock island, New Moore Island, in the Bay of Bengal.

Now, it's gone.

Rising sea levels in the bay have plunged New Moore Island in the Sunderbans completely underwater, said oceanographer Sugata Hazra, a professor at Jadavpur University in Calcutta. Its disappearance has been confirmed by satellite imagery and sea patrols, he said.

"What these two countries could not achieve from years of talking, has been resolved by global warming," said Hazra.

Reports say that around 10 more small island like New Moore Island are still at risk in the Bay of Bengal.
