Russian territory expands by 4.5 square kilometres after seismic activity
Saturday, November 14, 2009 According to scientists, the land territory of Russia has expanded by about 4.5 square kilometres within the last few years in the Far East due to seismic and volcanic activity. The gained land was recorded in the Sakhalin Peninsula.

GPS trackers on the Matua island were used to monitor the eruption, and the volcano changed its shape, adding 1.5 square kilometres of land, scientists said. Geologists…
