distant-traveller: Sakurajima volcano in Kyushu, Japan Sakurajima Volcano in Kyushu, Japan is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 34 crew member on the International Space Station. This photograph highlights Sakurajima, one of Japan’s most active volcanoes (center). There are several eruption craters near the 1,117 meter summit of Sakurajima; according to scientists, Kita-dake to the north last erupted approximately 5,000 years ago, while Minami-dake and Showa crater to the south have been the site of frequent eruptions since at least the 8th century. The ash plume visible near the volcano summit and extending to the southeast may have originated from either Minami-dake or Showa craters. Scientists believe that Sakurajima began forming approximately 13,000 years ago; prior to 1914, the volcano was an island in Kagoshima Baya, it was joined to the mainland by volcanic material following a major eruption in 1914.
