Thank you.Mount Aso (阿蘇山, Aso-san) is the largest active volcano in Japan, and is among the largest in the world. It stands in Aso Kujū National Park in Kumamoto Prefecture, on the island of Kyushu. Its peak is 1,592 meters (5,223 ft) above sea level. Mount Aso has a fairly large caldera (25 kilometers (16 miles) north-south and 18 km (11 mi) east-west) with a circumference of around 120 km (75 mi), although sources vary on the exact distance.The central cone group of Aso consists of five peaks, often called the "Five Mountains of Aso" (阿蘇五岳): Mt. Neko, Mt. Taka, Mt. Naka (also called Nakadake or Naka-Dake), Mt. Eboshi, and Mt. Kishima. The highest point is the summit of Mt. Taka, at 1592 m above sea level. The crater of Mt. Naka, the west side of which is accessible by road, contains an active volcano which continuously emits smoke and has occasional eruptions. Only the northernmost crater (the first crater) has been active for the last 70 years—1974, 1979, 1984–1985, 1989–1991, 2009, 2011, 2015, 2016 and 2021., #lava, #magma, #ash, #fiery, #majestic, #dormant, #active, #extinct, #geology, #nature, #earthscience, #travel, #volcano, #eruption, #lava, #magma, #ash, #crater, #tremors, #mantle, #volcanology, #geology, #earthscience, #rockcycle. #activevolcano, #dormant, #extinct, #sleepinggiant, #fiery, #majestic, #volcanic, #undersea, #subduction. #volcanoeruption, #lavaflow, #ashfall, #volcanoes, #volcanoactivity, #earthquake, #naturaldisaster. #travel, #nature, #scenery, #hiking, #explore, #adventure, (e.g., #mtfuji, #krakatau, #vesuvius) or regions (e.g., #iceland, #hawaii, #andes). #science, #planetearth, #naturalworld, #specialeffects, #supernatural, #horror Mount Aso (阿蘇山, Aso-san) is the largest active volcano in Japan, and is among the largest in the world.
