Extraordinary: New island rises from the sea off German coast

An island the size of 25 football pitches has appeared seemingly out of nowhere off the coast of Germany.
The landmass, which is composed of sandbanks, gradually emerged from the violent waters of the North Sea over the past few years.
It lies 15 miles off the coast of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany’s far north in a stretch of coastline known as the Wattenmeer, a marine national park.

 Dunes: Nearly 50 different plant species have been discovered on the island after winds blew seeds from across Europe
