Yet another volcano in Kyushu is acting up<\/a>. The Nakadake crater in the Aso caldera has been producing small plumes of ash and steam, and incandescence is visible on some webcams at night. Aso is the third volcano on the island to erupt this year. Shinmoedake\/Kirishima put on quite a show<\/a> back in January, and Sakura-jima has been puffing away since 1955. There are webcams here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Aso is currently tenth from the bottom in the box at right at the latter link. (Starting at the bottom and counting up by twos will give you a tour of some of the more active volcanoes in the south of Japan: Suwanose-jima, Satsuma-iwo-jima, Sakura-jima, Kirishima, Aso.)<\/p>\n
