Izu-Oshima
TokyoTakesiba is about 108.6km away from here in a straight line.
An active volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean Sagami Bay on the Philippine Sea plate.
13km north-northwest south-southeast 9km ENE-WSW
Island cover an area of 91.06k㎡
Households 4,806 Population 8,194(2015/08/01)
Mt.Mihara
Elevation(altitude) 758m
Latitude 34°43′29″ Longitude139°23′41″
Basaltic volcano- Silicon dioxide content 51-53wt%
Style of eruption - scoria→lava flow→volcanic ash
Recent eruption of Mt. Mihara
1986.11.15 17:25 (summit A crater)
1986.11.21 16:15 (frank eruption B1~B8 crater)
1986.11.21. 17:47(frank eruption C1~C11crater)
C6 lava flow was imminent in Motomati in oshima→seek shelter off the island for one mouth.

take a souvenir picture in front of summit A crater


Frank eruption
for the first time in 565 years
Andesitic eruption - silicon dioxide content 53.5 -67wt%
Main magma reservoir depth 9km →summit crater(basaltic magma)
Vice-magma reservoir depth 4-5km →frank eruption B1-B8crater(andesitic magma)


Frank eruption mouth just after the 1986 year eruption.
B1-B2-B3 crater
Quotes from Motomaro Sirawo's picture


If it is fine, you see Japan's highest Mount Fuji.



「URASABAKU」 this slope turned into desert on the way of the strong prevailing wind. southwest wind , northeast wind
Even if a seed is implanted, it is spurted and wind cannot germinate.



Geological cut surface
97 stratum
formation N4←S2←O1←O2←............←O95 N4(750) S2(300) O95(15,000-19,700BP)
a strata - tree layer ー lower- Scoria, middle- Ash, upper- Aeolian deposit(air-fall deposits)
the incommensurate stratum is a thing caused by the erosion.


You arrived at the Okada Port five minutes before a start on a voyage.
It was a busy guide,but how about the geo-site of Izu-Oshima is
Please take care. Let's meet again sometime.
