Details for: Niigata-Yakeyama

Niigata-Yake-yama, the flat-topped peak in the center of the photo, is one of several Japanese volcanoes named Yake-yama ("Burning Mountain"). The andesitic lava dome, seen here from the north, is located in Niigata Prefecture, near the Japan Sea. Yake-yama is a very young volcano that was constructed beginning only 3000-3500 years ago. Several explosion craters and fissures, which were formed during historical eruptions that date back to the 9th century, cut the summit and flanks of the dome. Photo by Yukio Hayakawa, 1990 (Gunma University).
