Sak ura-jima
I am located near Kagoshiima, Japan. The latitude and longitude are 31.6 N, 130.7 E and the elevation is 3,663 feet (1,117 meters).
Volcano Description
I am a composite volcano located on a small island off the larger island of Kyushu, Japan. My eruptions are explosive with many bombs and lots of ash. The eruptions are classified as Strombolian after Mt. Stromboli in Sicily. I also produce pyroclastic flows that can be very dangerous.
Eruption History
I am a highly active volcano. I first erupted in A.D. 708 and since then I have been erupting constantly which makes it difficult to provide a list of my eruption history. I had many large eruptions between 1471-‐1476, 1779, and 1781. My most current eruptive time began in 1955 and I have erupted between 100-‐200 times each year since. For example, I erupted 126 times in 1994.
Additional Information
I am monitored by the Sakurajima Volcano Research Center which was founded in 1960. I have not caused too many people to die except in 1914. I am mostly an inconvenience to the local population due to showering the people with ash.
