Random pictures | |   Image satellite du volcan Sakura Jima (c) Google Earth View Sakurajima (also spelled Sakurashima or Sakura-jima, 桜島 in Japanese) volcano in southern Kyushu is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and one of the few that are at present in constant (persistant) activity. Its ongoing typical activity range from strong strombolian to large ash explosions every 4-24 hours.
The volcano is located across Kagoshima Bay only 8 km east of the city of Kagoshima with a population of half a million. Sakurajima's eruptive history has been recorded since the 8th century. It has frequently deposited ash on Kagoshima, and due to its explosive potential, considered a very dangerous volcano and closely monitored.
The largest historical eruptions of Sakurajima took place during 1471-76 and in 1914. stratovolcano 1117 m / 3,665 ft Kyushu, Japan, 31.59°N / 130.66°E Current status: erupting (4 out of 5)

The eruption created an ash plume that rose about 4700 me above the crater and then drifted to the west. There were observations of pyroclastic flows running down the volcano’s southwest flank and significant ash falls were reported to cover Kagoshima. The volcano’s alert level is maintained at 3 – do not approach – since the start of its increased activity on February 5, 2016. ...moreA video of the ash cloud rising after the explosion can be seen on the Facebook post below:  A dense plume of ash partially covers the sky of the nearby city of Kagoshima after Sakurajima’s 16.06.2018 eruption (photo せ ば / Twitter) [ less] [ read all] Sun, 17 Jun 2018, 09:00  Satellite image of Sakurajima volcano on 17 Jun 2018 Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Tokyo (VAAC) issued the following report: ...moreFVFE01 at 08:45 UTC, 17/06/18 from RJTD [ less] [ read all] Sat, 16 Jun 2018, 14:15
