Located c.30 mi (48 km) from the southern tip of the densely populated major island of Kyushu, the caldera is mostly underwater, with a few small associated volcanic islands. It was formed some 6,300 years ago when the Akahoya supereruption caused the magma chamber to collapse. There have been a number of eruptions since 1988, mainly on one of the islands, and a lava dome within the caldera is expanding and is now c.100 ft (30 m) beneath the surface. |
