Kirishima volcano (Kyushu, Japan): Ongoing Strong Ash Emissions
The explosive eruption of Kirishima goes on unabated. A dense column of ash is being emitted from the vent. Tokyo VAAC issued an ash cloud warning at flight level 210 - in other words, the eruption plume is estimated to have reached or could reach 21,000 ft (ca. 7 km.)
Some residents of Miyazaki city had been evacuated according to news, kindly forwarded by a reader of the excellent eruptions blog.
A great time lapse video compiled from the webcam (http://www.seisvol.kishou.go.jp/vo/32.php, select ??? ????????= Kirishima volcano) was posted at: www.youtube.com/watch
