Rausudake, seen here from the SW at Shiretoko Pass, is a small cone in NE Hokkaido. It is located 5 km SW of Shiretoko-Iozan volcano along the crest of the elongated NE-trending ridge forming the Shiretoko Peninsula. Explosive eruptions have taken place several times during the Holocene, including eruptions of pumiceous tephras about 2,200 and 1,500 years ago.
