The Sakurajima is the most active volcano in Japan, known for its frequent, strong eruptions and a tourist attraction. On Thursday the 128th (!) Brakking (see video) was only recorded this year.
During the outbreak on Thursday, at 8.45 am local time, the Feuerberg spit about two kilometers high in heaven. The 1117 meter high Sakurajima is located on the island of Kyushu, in the distant archipelago of the Japanese island, and forms a peninsula in the bay of Kagoshima.
In the city with the same name (photo below), which is about eight kilometers away opposite the volcano, about half a million people live.
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.
For this reason, concrete channels and blockages were built around the Sakurajima to distribute dangerous lahare (these are mud, nut) and pyroclastic streams that are always available here.
Japan is located on the Pacific Fire Ring, a volcanic bar that surrounds the Pacific Ocean on 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.
