The circled island's name translates as "Son of X" and has been studied extensively since 1930. Identify X.Answer: X is Krakatoa and the circled island is Anak Krakatoa which broke water permanently for the first time in 1930. Adi, Mekhala, Anurag-thecrouchingtiger, iam, an anon, samrat, divya, imitator and indiandreamer all got it. Well done.

Anak Krakatau #4
Wikipedia:
Verbeek, in his report on the eruption, predicted that any new activity would manifest itself in the region which had been between Perboewatan and Danan. This prediction came true in June 1927 when evidence of a submarine eruption was seen in this area. A few days later, a new island volcano, named Anak Krakatau ("Child of Krakatoa"), broke water. Initially, the eruptions were of pumice and ash, and it (and 2 more islands) was quickly eroded away by the sea; but eventually Anak Krakatoa #4 produced lava flows faster than the waves could erode them. Of considerable interest to volcanologists, this has been the subject of extensive study since the new island broke water permanently in August 1930.
X= Krakatoa. The son of X is anak krakatoa, an island formed mysteriously many years after the famous explosion in 1883
