A small island has emerged off the southern coast of Pakistan after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the country.

Reuters reports that "a crowd of bewildered people [gathered] on the shore to witness the rare phenomenon."

The quake killed at least 45 people, and many of the buildings in the impoverished area of the Baluchistan province have caved in.

Pakistani TV Geo News, citing Pakistan's deputy inspector general, reported that the island arose about 350 feet from the coast of Gwadar.
