SAKURAJIMA VOLCANO - Kyushu, Japan
The "Cherry Blossom Island Volcano" Sakurajima, currently erupting, began forming approximately 13,000 years ago; prior to 1914, it was an island in Kagoshima Bay. Sakurajima was joined to the mainland by the deposition of volcanic material following a major eruption in 1914. Several craters lie near the 1,117-meter summit of Sakurajima. Sakurajima is an active stratovolcano, formerly an island and now a peninsula, in Kagoshima Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan. The lava flows of the 1914 eruption connected it with the Ōsumi Peninsula. It is the most active volcano in Japan. |
