This must be the new volcanic island born around August 18, 2006 near Tonga, witnessed & described here by Fredrik & Crew of the yacht 'Maiken':

Look under 'Stone Sea and Volcano' for pictures and the amazing story.
Don't know if the island is named. But naming it after the yacht that saw the birth of the island seems logical. This probably belongs to Tonga.
