Title:
Southern Kyushu, Japan
Description:
This dramatic infrared view of Southern Kyushu, Japan (31.5N, 130.5E) shows the vegetation on the island as a red or pink, depending upon its lushness. The small islands of Yaku Jima and Tanega Shima are almost totally cloud covered. The port city of Kagoshima with its active volcano, Sakura Jimai in the middle of the harbor, is at the extreme southern tip of Kyushu. This volcano has erupted almost continuously for over 1,200 years.
