Stygean Hugh Posted March 24, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Disputed isle in Bay of Bengal disappears into sea AP By NIRMALA GEORGE, Associated Press Writer Nirmala George, Associated Press Writer – Wed Mar 24, 9:29 am ET NEW DELHI – For nearly 30 years, India and Bangladesh have argued over control of a tiny rock island in the Bay of Bengal. Now rising sea levels have resolved the dispute for them: the island's gone. New Moore Island in the Sunderbans has been completely submerged, said oceanographer Sugata Hazra, a professor at Jadavpur University in Calcutta. Its disappearance has been confirmed by satellite imagery and sea patrols, he said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100324/ap_on_sc/as_india_disappearing_island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
