Hakoneyama volcano, seen here from the W, is a broad volcano with two large calderas. A group of lava domes formed in the center of the caldera. The highest dome, Kamiyama, forms the high point of the complex, topped by clouds in the center of the photo. The caldera formed during two large Pleistocene eruptions. An eruption took place around 3,000 years ago and seismic swarms have occurred frequently during the 20th century. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1977 (Smithsonian Institution).
