Bermuda will sink...too.

New islands and coral shelf islands (such as the Maldives) I think would be the most susceptible to submersion. Volcanic shield islands generally grow very slowly, and are subject to tremors which could collapse lava chutes and once again submerge the newly formed island. For an example of a newly forming volcanic shield island in the South Pacific, check out New Island which shows that the sand pushed up from the ocean floor is very shallow and unstable.

Also island chains like the Maldives are formed on coral reefs and barely sit above sea level. The tsunami in 2004 temporarily submerged some of the islands, and whether or not you believe in global warming, the fact is that if the ice shelves in the arctic melt, then islands like this will be completely submerged.

The Carteret Islands have been submerging for several years and evacuations are in process because the islands will become uninhabitable in a few years.

Of course, the reasons they are sinking is hotly debated. The fact is, the are sinking/submerging.

I believe the older Hawaiian islands are gradually "sinking" (if nothing else but by erosion) while the youngest ones are still over the active spot and growing due to vulcanism. Looking at the ages and sizes of the islands from the southeast to the northwest is like seeing a time lapse of an island sinking.

Didn't I read that the Hawaiian Islands are also drifting west? Or am I thinking of something else?

In an aside, a wooo from a well-known institute of wooo in Boulder, Colorado had an article published in 1995 in a Sunday supplement of the Denver Post. In a large, illustrated double page spread he enlightened us about how everything west of Boulder (west!) was to become shallow sea by 1999. I had that pinned up in my cubicle for several years, but lost in it a rather fire-sale sort of move that assails tech firms now and then. It amused me how the marketing types (no stereotypes here, nosir!) would stroll by, read it, and become concerned as the end drew nearer.

Watch it, watch it, watch it...I'm in PR and almost NEVER worry about Boulder developing a beach front.

From Wikipedia ("Hawaiian Islands"):

The chain of islands or archipelago formed as the Pacific plate moved slowly northwestward over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle at about 32 miles (51 km) per million years. Hence the islands in the northwest of the archipelago are older and typically smaller, due to longer exposure to erosion.

Not only erosion.

Hawaii is located over a hot spot, plate material passing over becomes swollen due to the heating. Hawaii's elavation = volcanic mountains + expansion due to heat and magma chambers. As soon as the plate passes the hot spot, it starts to "unswell".
