Hijiori

Caldera · Japan · 552 m

Hijiori volcano, seen from the E, is a small caldera located NE of the Pleistocene Gassan volcano. The town of Hijiori lies in the left foreground along the banks of two rivers through the caldera floor. The low 2.5-km-wide caldera formed during a large eruption between about 9,500 and 11,000 years ago, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and ashfall that extended to the E and reached the Pacific coast.

Resumen geológico

Hijiori caldera is a small, inconspicuous caldera located NE of the Pleistocene Gassan stratovolcano. The low 2.5-km-wide caldera formed during a large eruption about 10,300 radiocarbon years ago. This eruption was accompanied by dacitic pyroclastic flows and tephra fall that extended to the east and reached the Pacific coast and growth of a lava dome. Small local tephra deposits overlie lacustrine deposits. Hot springs occur at Hijiori, and caldera lake deposits have undergone extensive hydrothermal alteration.
