New crater appeared on the new volcanic island / Erupting every 10 seconds / Expert “Extremely active” [URL]
On 6/16/2014, the Maritime Safety Agency reported that a new crater appeared on the new volcanic island.
It was observed on 6/13/2014, spreading magma and white and blue white volcanic fumes on the east part of the island (The picture above).
The most active crater located in the north part of the island was seen erupting every 10 seconds.
Prof. Nogami from Tokyo Inst. of Technology commented new magma is stably supplied, the volcanic activity is still extremely active.
Prof. Nogami from Tokyo Inst. of Technology stated the volcanic activity is increasing in the new island.
He joined the aerial survey of the Maritime Safety Agency on 7/23/2014. He commented the the volcanic fumes reach higher altitude than before. The eruption scale is increasing and it’s becoming more active.
Assistant Prof. Maeno from Earthquake Research Institute of the university of Tokyo commented there is a possibility that a part of the island collapses. On the assumption that approx. 1/4 of the island collapses, it may cause 1m height of Tsunami to Chichi-jima island, which is located about 130 km from the new volcanic island.
