Jólnir

Jólnir was formerly a volcanic island south of Iceland. It was a former vent of Surtsey, along with Syrtlingur and Surtla. It emerged from the ocean as a result of active plate tectonics in July, 1966. Oceanic erosion cyclically wore down the new land as it formed, and the island sank below the surface several times.
