A security camera has taken up the moment the Sakurajima -volcano in Japan broke out at the weekend and spit a more than two kilometer high ash cloud in the air.
The eruption on Sunday evening at 8:04 pm is the local time the 31st explosive outbreak of the Sakurajima this year, the increased activity of which continues.
One of the most active volcanoes in Japan
The Sakurajima is the most active volcano Japan, known for its frequent and strong outbreaks and a tourist attraction. It is located on the island of Kyushu, in the south of the Japanese island archipelago, and forms a peninsula in the bay of Kagoshima.
About half a million people live in the city of the same name, which is about eight kilometers away opposite the volcano. Concrete canals and blockages were built around the Sakurajima to transmit the dangerous Lahare (mud flows, nut) and pyroclastic streams that are always available.
Japan is on the western edge of the Pacific Fire Ring, a volcanic bar that surrounds the Pacific from three sides and extends over different countries. About two -thirds of all volcanic eruptions of the and about 90 percent of the earthquake worldwide goes back to this area.
High danger potential for residents
Because the Sakurajima is one of the so -called explosive subduction zone volcanoes, it assumes a considerable danger potential for the inhabitants of Kagoshima. The situation here is reminiscent of the Vesuvius in the Gulf of Naples.
