Sintesi geologica

The Shiga volcanic complex immediately north of Kusatsu-Shirane volcano consists of a group of small andesitic shield volcanoes and pyroclastic cones. A large lava plateau was erupted between about 200-300 ka. The latest activity occurred between about 250,000 and 10,000 years ago (Nakano et al., 2001-). The Shiga-Kogen (Shiga Plateau) area is a popular winter sports destination.
