The peninsula across the center of the photo is the SW rim of Nakanoumi caldera. The 3-km-wide caldera formed about 5,400 years ago during the largest Towada Holocene eruption . The eruption was followed by the collapse of the Goshikiiwa cone at the southern end of the caldera. Clouds obscure the western caldera rim in the background.
