Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Iwatesan
Iwate volcano displays two summit peaks when viewed from the SE. Yakushi-dake (right) forms the summit of Iwate, and is a younger cone that was constructed over the eastern rim of Nishi-Iwate caldera, the left-hand peak. Historical eruptions, mostly from the 500-m-wide summit crater of Yakushi-dake and vents on its flanks, have been recorded since the 17th century.
