Japan: Shinmoedake Volcano Erupts in Kagoshima, Spews Ash 500 Meters High 2

On Sunday, June 22, Mount Shinmoedake in Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, erupted, sending a plume of smoke more than 500 meters above the crater, according to the Kagoshima Local Meteorological Observatory. It was the volcano’s first eruption since 2018. The observatory has kept the eruption alert level at 2 and is urging people to stay cautious within a roughly 2-kilometer radius of the crater, due to the risk of large volcanic rocks and other hazards associated with the eruption. This video shows ash fall from a volcanic eruption, filmed in Takaharu town, Miyazaki prefecture, next to Kirishima city.

Handout photo dated June 2, 2025, shows The Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite acquired an image of the area at 09:40 UTC, just minutes after the onset of the eruption. On the left, the natural colour image clearly depicts a dense ash plume in the summit crater area, partially obscured by a pyrocumulus cloud drifting westward towards inland Sicily. On the right, a false colour composite using shortwave infrared channels reveals the intense thermal signature of active lava flows descending into the Valle del Bove. Jaw-dropping satellite images shows Mount Etna erupting. At 11:24 am local time on 2 June, the most active volcano in Europe produced a spectacular eruption, propelling a dense column of ash and smoke several kilometres into the atmosphere. According to Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the eruption originated from the South East Crater, one of the most active summit vents in recent years. The event was characterised by vigorous Strombolian activity, lava effusion, and a

Eruption of Mt. Asama

Mt. Asama is a three-layered composite volcano. This photograph captures a researcher taking shots of the smoke and his assistant at the edge of the mouth of Mt. Kamayama (2568m), the central crater. Official record keeping of Mt. Asama eruptions started only after 1886. This photograph was taken in 1904, during a lull in the mid-Meiji Period (1894-1908) when volcanic activity was relatively minor. ==Date:1904, Place:Nagano, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐61‐0]
