Caldera · Japan · 11 m

Steam emission from the blocky summit of a lava dome formed during a submarine eruption at the Beyonesu Rocks vent of the Myojinsho caldera in 1952. This 22 September photo was taken six days after the dome began to breach the sea surface. Later that day the eruption became highly explosive and the dome was destroyed. Three cycles of dome growth and destruction occurred until October 1953.

Resumen geológico

Beyonesu Rocks are part of the barely exposed rim of the largely submarine Myojinsho caldera. Formation of the 8-9 km wide caldera was followed by construction of a large (2.6 km3) lava dome and/or lava flow complex on the caldera floor, originally located at a depth of 1,000-1,100 m. Most eruptions recorded since the late-19th century have occurred from the dacitic post-caldera Myojinsho lava dome on the NE caldera rim. Deposits from submarine pyroclastic flows associated with growth of the dome cover it and extend both into the NE part of the caldera and down its outer slopes. An explosive submarine eruption from Myojinsho in 1952 destroyed a Japanese research vessel, killing all 31 on board. Submarine eruptions have also been observed from other points on the caldera rim and outside of the caldera. The Beyonesu Rocks were named after the French warship the Bayonnaise, which was surveying volcanic islands south of Tokyo Bay in 1850.
