You will enjoy the photos of this eye-witness account of a rapidly-forming volcano and the strange phenomenon of stones floating on the ocean as far as they could see.
Another recently-formed island is Surtsey, off of Iceland which became an island in November of 1963.
Surtsey offers a great lesson that what scientists long attribute to long time periods can actually happen quickly. Geologic features formed in weeks, not in decades or centuries.
