Volcano Unzen

Em 1792, um sismo fez colapsar o domo de Mayuyama para o mar, levantando um tsunami que matou cerca de 15 000 pessoas — o desastre vulcânico mais mortífero do Japão. A erupção de 1990–1995 fez crescer o domo de lava Heisei-shinzan e, a 3 de junho de 1991, uma corrente piroclástica matou 43 pessoas, entre elas os vulcanólogos Katia e Maurice Krafft.
