Stealing the pictures Yuki took from our hike up to the Matengai Cliff on Nishinoshima. There were horses and cows (bulls, really) grazing around the mountain, but they were not the friendly type! The view from every point was breathtakingly beautiful, so it's hard to choose just a few pictures.

3 Days in A Remote Island Village in Japan - 本州から３時間離れた隠岐の島

A unique islander experience in Oki Islands, off the coast of Shimane Prefecture. It’s quite impressive that despite being “isolated”, life there is quite sustainable! They even have their own cute library with an amazing view of the coast and a very colorful tradition, literally, you’ll know when you watch it!

Ash Cloud This satellite image from the MODIS instrument on NASA’s Terra satellite captures an eruption of the volcano Nishinoshima, on a tiny, remote island almost 1000 kilometers away from Japan. The volcano first awakened in 2013 and eventually grew large enough to consume a nearby island from a previous volcanic event. Although it was quiet for a few years after this burst of activity, it has been active again since last December and particularly vigorous in its eruptions over the last month or so.

On any given day, there are often a dozen or more volcanoes actively erupting around the world. This one is so far away from everything that there’s little reason to hear about it, as is the case with many eruptions around the world. -JBB Image credit: https://flic.kr/p/2jkpjgj

Nishinoshima volcano emerged out of the ocean about 1000 kilometers south of Tokyo to create an island in an eruption that started in 2013. It continued erupting after it appeared, actually consuming another nearby island formed out of a related volcano and being given the name of that island in the process. Here is continuing activity on that remote island captured by the Japanese Meteorological Agency.
