Yeah, I agree, Volcanic Island, mostly because:
As lava builds up like that it will be cooled off by the water, resulting in building the foundation of the Volcano, over time it continues to grow and grow until eventually rising above the surface, forming it's own Volcano. Because when lava cools it becomes a type of rock(can't recall what it's called), this concludes that once it reaches above, the volcano will continue to build itself into a volcanic island.
Or at least that's my explanation for it.
