Oshima Adventuring

About a hundred clicks south of Tokyo Bay lies the volcanic island of Oshima, a 90 square kilometre chunk of rock peeking up above the Pacific. During a large eruption of Oshima’s Mt. Mihara in November of 1986, lava fountains were recorded over 1600m high. Since this is probably the closest volcano to me (out of a possible 94 across the country), I naturally had to go check it out.
