Today was a wonderful day to see my first volcano! The largest mountain in Kyushu, Japan is Aso-san. It is an active volcano surrounded by five peaks. We were able to take a bus just about to the top of the mountain, and from there we took a gondola to the mouth. The plum of sulphuric gas was causing everyone to cough and sputter a bit, but the view inside was amazing! The most beautiful color greenish blue steaming lake of sulphuric lava lay at the suface and was reported to be 200 degrees Celsius. Apparently, it is a steaming 1000 degrees Celsius inside the mountain!
No burning projectiles today! (^_^)v
