Iwo Jima

Ioto

Caldera · Japan · 169 m

The discolored water seen here is from the September 2001 Ioto submarine eruption, with the vent marked by the yellow arrow. The island is located within a 9-km-wide submarine caldera and narrows toward its SW tip, where the Suribachiyama cone is located. Numerous phreatic eruptions and uplift over at least the past 700 years has accompanied resurgent doming of the caldera.

Sintesi geologica

Ioto, in the Volcano Islands of Japan, lies within a 9-km-wide submarine caldera. The volcano is also known as Ogasawara-Iojima to distinguish it from several other "Sulfur Island" volcanoes in Japan. The triangular, low-elevation, 8-km-long island narrows toward its SW tip and has produced trachyandesitic and trachytic rocks that are more alkalic than those of other volcanoes in this arc. The island has undergone uplift for at least the past 700 years, accompanying resurgent doming of the caldera; a shoreline landed upon by Captain Cook's surveying crew in 1779 is now 40 m above sea level. The Motoyama plateau on the NE half of the island consists of submarine tuffs overlain by coral deposits and forms the island's high point. Many fumaroles are oriented along a NE-SW zone cutting through Motoyama. Numerous recorded phreatic eruptions, many from vents on the W and NW sides of the island, have accompanied the uplift.
