outburst! Just this afternoon at 1:19 p.m., the Sakurajima Volcano in Japan erupted, and the crater was thick with smoke, reaching a height of 3,400 meters.

Japan's Sakurajima Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, erupting every 4 to 24 hours.
Sakurajima Volcano, located in Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan, consists of three volcanic bodies, Kitatake, Nakagatake and Minamitake, with an area of 77 square kilometers and only 4 kilometers from Kagoshima City, which has a population of 600,000. From Kagoshima City, you can see the volcanic clouds on Sakurajima Island, and the daily changing smoke becomes a beautiful view of Kagoshima.
Sakurajima Volcano has had many major eruptions in history, the most famous of which was on January 12, 1914, which inundated nearby villages and the sea, filling the strait between Sakurajima and osumi Peninsula, causing some casualties among residents and turning it into a peninsula.
The Japanese are most worried about the eruption of Mount Fuji. The great eruption of the volcano in 1707, the eruption of volcanic ash was 800 million cubic meters, and the surrounding 100 kilometers were covered, filling in rivers and ponds, causing heavy losses. The Mt. Fuji volcano erupted into a sword hanging over the head of the Japanese.
According to media reports, the crater of Mt. Fuji has expanded 6 times, there are about 300, and the internal pressure has reached 1.6 megapascals, which has the conditions for eruption at any time!
