2 Location Longitude: 130.657°E 130°39'25"E Latitude: 31.585°N 31°35'6“N Located in Kyushu (Japan) northern half of Kagoshima Bay

3 Properties of the Lava The lava is andesite and content of SiO 2 is 57- 66% Maximum range of flight of volcanic bombs: 3 km Maximum flow length of pyroclastic flows: 1.2 km

4 Historic Background More than 7,300 explosive eruptions have been recorded in the past 45 years. Largest eruptions took place in 1471-1476, 1779-1782, 1914. (During the 1914 eruption the pyroclastic flow connected the island to the mainland.)
