The small 700 m wide island was significantly enlarged during the last eruption in 1974, which joined several new islands that formed then.
Water discoloration due to possible minor eruptions and / or shallow submarine hydrothermal activity in the area is a frequent sight.
The mostly submerged volcano is a massive seamount with prominent flank cones on the south, west and NE flanks. The southern cone rises to a depth of 214 m below the sea surface, 9 km SSE of Nishinoshima.

The volcano on the island continues to erupt lava flows that continue to gradually enlarge the island. The latest survey by the Japanese coast guard shows that lava flows have been traveling mostly through a tube system towards the east, where active flows continue to add land to the coast. ---
