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. caldera, submarine volcano approx 70 m / 215 ft (currently growing) Volcano Islands, Japan, 27.27°N / 140.88°E Current status: restless (2 out of 5) Nishino-shima webcams / live data \| Reports Nishino-shima volcano books Nishino-shima volcano eruptions: 2019-ongoing, 2017, 2013-15, 1985(?), 1982(?), 1980(?), 1978(?), 1975(?), 1973-74 Typical eruption style: explosive Last earthquakes nearby Latest satellite images Sentinel hub \| Landsat 8 Nishino-shima volcano news & activity updates: latest (Aug-Oct 2020) \| Jul 2020 \| Jan-Jun 2020 \| archive2017 \| 2016 \| 2015 \| 2014 \| 2013 Nishino-shima Volcano Volcanic Ash Advisory: VA EMISSIONS CONTINUING OBS VA DTG: 27/1720Z to 9000 ft (2700 m) Thu, 27 Aug 2020, 18:15 Satellite image of Nishino-shima volcano on 27 Aug 2020 Nishino-shima Volcano Volcanic Ash Advisory: VA IS NOT IDENTIFIABLE IN SATELLITE IMAGERY.
