The crater edge of the devastating 1888 phreatic eruption of Mt. Bandai-san, Fukushima, Japan, here seen as the steep ridge between Mt. Kushigamine (Ku) and Tengu-iwa (Goblin rock, Te), viewed from the outer side of the crater (upper). Similar to the 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption, an enormous amount of landslide blocks from the crater area travelled several kilometers and totally filled up the precedent valley system to form a relatively flat basin with numerous naturally-dammed lakes and ponds including the Hibara-ko Lake (lower)
