- A tiny island claimed for years by India and Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal has disappeared beneath the rising seas, scientists in India say.
- The uninhabited territory south of the Hariabhanga river was known as New Moore Island to the Indians and South Talpatti Island to the Bangladeshis.
- Recent satellites images show the whole island under water, says the School of Oceanographic Studies in Calcutta.
- Its scientists say other nearby islands could also vanish as sea levels rise.
