The volcano has had many eruptions both from summit and flank vents, including submarine eruptions. Many eruptions have caused considerable damage to the island. Beschreibung:The island of Miyake-jima is the submerged part of a low-angle stratovolcano that rises about 1100 m from the sea floor. It is mainly basaltic and has small summit calderas, one which is 3.5 km wide and was formed during a major explosive eruption about 2500 years ago.There are numerous fissure vents on its flanks and flank cones, craters and maars near the coast. A 300 years long pause in activity ended in 1469. Since then, activity was mostly from flank fissures and sometimes accompanied by small summit eruptions. A new eruptive phase started in 2000, during which a new 1.6 km wide summit caldera formed by repeated subsidence of the crater.

After a repose interval of 17 years, a series of new eruptions started at Miyakejima in 2000. The eruption was preceded by strong deformation and intense earthquake swarms: Between 26 June and 21 July 2000 there were 17,500 earthquakes, including 5,480 which could be felt by residents. A magnitude 6.4 earthquake on 1 July 2000 killed one person by rockfall on Kozu-shima. An explosive eruption occurred on 7 July 2000, prompting the evacuation of the island on 1 September, and people were first allowed to return on 1 February 2005. During the period 8 July-31 August 2000, the volcano produced large phreatic eruptions, ash plumes up to 15 km high, pyroclastic flows, ash fall and a series of gradual concentric crater collapses. By October 2000, a new 1.6-km-wide summit caldera had slowly formed by subsidence and the crater floor had dropped to only 230 m above sea level. --- Source: Smithsonian / GVP monthly reports |
